A reporter today asked Chevy this question and Chevy’s response was “ it’s up to us to decide what do with this season on his contract “Interesting thing I read somewhere (take it with a grain of salt, as I don't remember where), the Jets can choose to let this year of his contract slide. So this off season, there'd be 2 years of Buff available as a trade asset.
Of course, if Buff is completely done with hockey (very likely), trading him this off season is moot.
Sounds like Buff has plans for pickerel, or as they say in Roseau..”walleye”A reporter today asked Chevy this question and Chevy’s response was “ it’s up to us to decide what do with this season on his contract “
As they correctly say everywhere... "walleye"Sounds like Buff has plans for pickerel, or as they say in Roseau..”walleye”
I actually think they will wait and keep him suspended and wait until the off season then trade him like before or at the draft.
Must be a lot of teams interested in a retired player who doesn't want to play hockey anymore!?!

Another gem from Chevy. Say 1,000 words but don’t actually tell anyone anything.Cheveldayoff said he concluded in the past month that Byfuglien would not be playing this season.
"I guess it would be a couple of weeks ago when he should've progressed to the skating aspect of the rehab and he never did," he said.
"There's obviously some different things behind the scenes. There's still a work in progress there," Cheveldayoff told the Jets website. "Interestingly enough, Dustin essentially made the decision not to play this year and that essentially kind of squashed anything that might've happened for maybe someone to put him in their lineup this year. We can still trade him at any point in time, you know, with respect to the future as well, it's still a work in progress."
With great information comes great accountabilityAnother gem from Chevy. Say 1,000 words but don’t actually tell anyone anything.

It might be a process, but I think in this case Chevy doesn't really know what he's going to do re: Buff.
On one hand you can terminate his contract, but then he can decide to play somewhere else and you got nothing for him. On the other, you can't trade him, because no one wants to trade for someone who may never play again, and it seems like Buff isn't going to tell anyone if he's going to play again.
It's almost like Buff heard the Jets were trying to trade him, so he decided he wasn't going to play this season, so the Jets couldn't trade him.
IMO something spiteful ( or sinister ) is going on here between the Jets and Buff.
I think he shared some important information (i.e. until recently they thought Buff might try to play this season, the Jets can "toll" the contract, they are still considering options including a trade), but people won't be satisfied unless he tells them what he's planning to do, which would be foolish of him.Another gem from Chevy.

There might be a bit of a power struggle going on. Chevy made it clear that the Jets could "toll" his contract, which would essentially force Buff to either play for the Jets or remain on the sidelines (suspended) for the next two years. I think it means that if Buff wants to play again, the Jets will insist on having a say on where he plays (Winnipeg, or elsewhere via trade). That might be why they haven't terminated his contract and made him a UFA yet.It might be a process, but I think in this case Chevy doesn't really know what he's going to do re: Buff.
