He has a limited NTC so I am just assuming Winnipeg would be on it, but you never know.
He did sign in Winnipeg for a year after being traded there so maybe not. Maybe the cold doesn't scare him, because I don't think Minny was on his NTC in that rumoured Zucker trade
Although, now I see that the Jets have all that space only if Byfuglien doesn't report until opening day of the season. If he comes back, that 8 million or whatever it is counts towards the cap again. So a trade would have to come in October and would likely be contingent on his retirement.
I think Buff's gonna hang them up, personally. We saw what a lack of training camp did to Jagr and he was in better shape in his 40s than Byfuglien's been in his entire career - also man I miss Jagr, I really wish that signing worked out
