Player Discussion: Jets have suspended Dustin Byfuglien for failing to report to camp...

[cbcwpg]

Much like rumors at work, “believe none of what you hear and half of what you see”

I’ll start showing optimism when/if he starts skating with the team.

ill show optimism when he dresses for his first game...until then he’s not on the team.

 

[FFHockey]

Looking like they may need more than just Buff back in lineup

Niku, Beaulieu, little? Ya they’d help too.

I'll show optimism when he dresses for his first game and demonstrates he has both the physical and mental conditioning to contribute positively to the team.

 

[dingbathero]

Well I hope he comes back.

I dropped 2 players on my fantasy team to make room for Big Buff.

Roll of the dice. Come on, big money, no whammie.

does your league have roster spots based on girth???

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Dreger has a feeling - based on nothing at all, according to him.

I thought he was going to report that he had spoken to someone close to Buff, or that Buff had been spotted skating with some team or other. Nope, just a feeling.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

 

[Whileee]

Dreger's source is Paul Maurice. If Dreger is reporting on this, it's legit.

or Buff's agent.

He can't do that while he is suspended.

I'll start developing dome optimism when I hear he is skating with the U of M Bisons. or something like that. He'll need to get into something vaguely resembling playing shape. Then he can have a 2 week conditioning stint in the AHL.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

He who shall not be named has stated that Buff will be back in a few weeks if not sooner

You will not. Be honest. You will still be pessimistic. Maybe just slightly less so.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Has buff been skating this whole time ??? Someone must of had to see him do this if he was. I think this would be the most telling thing about his return no?

This is what I've been saying as well.

 

[Whileee]

Who is "he"?

 

[JetsUK]

Who is "he"?

HockeyBuzz.com - Eklund - Source says Byfuglien on his way back. NJ Devils Panic? Buzz@1

Though note the various hedged bets.

Voldemort?

That’s just what Dreger said, but in Eklund talk!

 

[tntkid]

Where you hiding BUFF???

 

[dingbathero]

Haha, no but I had someone stashed on IR (AA from the wings) so I had to correct that.

Hope he does come back, this move may help me win the year.... And of course for the Jets too, way better with Buff!

Cheers

Posters who think that Buff returning is going to save the day, should really give this some thought. He would give the Jet's a psychological boost, and physical presence, but we also lost "3" other very good defenseman, and the back end will have to be rebuilt. Hopefully they can speed that up -- with some trades etc.

Jet's fans shouldn't expect a whole lot this year IMO.

If he returns in Optimistober, I am required to have a sunny outlook. After that, it's back to...

With Buff I think we can squeak into the playoffs. Without him, probably not.

We do not expect much especially after seeing the first 6 games of the season with a decimated defensive core.

I would at least like to see the team be competitive and not just give up because of our coach and ahl defense,

_____________________________________________

Yes, with an in shape Buff back, and Bealieu back, maybe we could make the playoffs ? We certainly have the firepower upfront.

It's certainly a step in the right direction, getting Buff back.

 

[BatVader]

Even if Buff comes back, I’d still like them to make a few trades to get Hamonic.
Have to trade Roslovic + for Hamonic and trade someone like Kulikov or Perreault to make cap room for Hamonic.
Morrissey - Hamonic
Heinola - Buff
Beaulieu - Pionk

Voldemort?
