All reports seem to be indicating that the Winnipeg Jets are in the process of terminating the contract of their star defenceman Dustin Byfuglien. He would then become a UFA on the open market. There has been a lot of secrecy around his injury and on this week’s episode the guys look at the situation, who appears to be the “bad guy”, and where do the Winnipeg Jets go from here. The guys also discuss the All-Star break, the youthfulness of the team, and the upcoming trade deadline.
