I still think that trading Byfuglien NOW is the right thing to do. However, a big part of me wants to see what Maurice can do with this club through an entire cycle, off season training instruction, camp, exy and regular season. I really have never gotten that sense about Byfuglien (really loving playing hockey, following instructions, being a leader). If that truly is the case, then keeping him here for another year is kind of intriguing to me.
I also take it with a WEE bit of salt because of all the things Mo said about P******
Honestly, this is what I love about HF boards. You can come in with pre-conceived notions and firm ideas about players and situations, then you can learn something new. All you have to do is have an open mind.
