Toronto really going to be looking at and give up that much for a notoriously unmotivated player (on the fitness side) who has missed the entire season so far after ankle surgery

Truer words have never been spoken... If you put Buff & Marner behind the crease and told them to skate off as fast as they could, Marner would hit the other crease while Buff was still wiping corndog mustard from his face.

Byfuglien is a great hockey player who has been suspended without pay and is rehabing an injury and there appears to be some sort of highly confidential disagreement between the player and team. It may be very difficult and uncomfortable for Byfuglien to continue to play for the Jets in the future or the Jets may be very uncomfortable with him playing for them in the future.

As a result, Byfuglien may need a new team to play for in the NHL if he wants to resume his playing career and the Winnipeg Jets may need to replace him with some othe players of value in a trade so the team can move on into the future. Tyson Barrie is a potential UFA who will be looking for a big contract and the Winnipeg Jets without Byfulglien may be a good fit for him.

The Leafs are looking for a top pairing right handed defenceman and if the Jets are willing to retain $3,600,000 of his salary so he drops to a cap hit of $4,600,000 per year for the remainder of this year and next then yes I think there might be a fit for him in Toronto even though you may not agree.

Not sure why you are asking where's the source as if you think every potential trade has to have a media source or it can not happen. I find most trades are completed without any media reports ahead of time of the actual trade being negotiated. The reality of the situation is that every team in the NHL is probably kicking tires with the Jets on the potental availiabilty of Dustin Byfuglien and that is not rocket science even though that might be hard for you to understand.

Jets trip over themselves to say yes and then probably flip Johnsson for a dman or draft pick

Not going to lie, I sometimes wonder if THMsage and MikiePensGuy or whatever (guy who always trades marner for nothing), I feel they are the same bot and not real people. They both word things in an interesting way that always just seems a little off to me.

AGAIN WITH THE CAPS AND THE HEADLINES... Buf is simply too buff to play hockey, living on coffee crisps and cross checks has finally caught up to butterball.

That's the guy. I just find they both have similar writing styles that just seem a little off. Like a robot trying to fit in with humans. Fine people and I'll say anything poorly, I just find some of the wording a little weird and both were very similar

One problem. This trade, with retention would put the jets some 3 million dollars over the cap. They would have to trade Johnsson as one has suggested. They would need to have a deal in place or no trade.

Byfuglien isn't waiving for Toronto, If he leaves Winnipeg and goes anywhere it's probably home to Minnesota.

I was thinking about the Byfuglien situation a little bit more and wondering if there was a way that Leafs could benefit by taking on his contract and then placing him on LTIR if he can not return to play to get some cap relief for next year. Would be interested in your and Jamiepo's thoughts on if Byfuglien situation could be potentially exploited by the Leafs to their advantage.

I’m not sure he can be placed on ltir. If he doesn’t play he will not count against the cap and he will not be paid.

Probably not, I don't think it would be worth it.
