At 6’5″, 265 pounds (his listed size on the Jets’ website), he is one of the biggest players in the entire league. However, one report seems to indicate he lived up to his nickname a little too well.

Monday Quick Hits
* Rumors persist that the Flyers are targeting either Phoenix Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle or Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien this offseason if they try to upgrade the blueline via the trade route rather than trying to offer sheet a restricted free agent.

The Blessing of Byfuglien
Dustin Byfuglien is one player that the Winnipeg Jets love to have some nights, but could do without other nights.
After watching a home game in Chicago this past week, it was apparent that Chicago fans loved their Big Buff when he was in a Blackhawks uniform.
For Jets fans, the same thing is happening - a love affair between #33 and the fans in Winnipeg.
But for me,...
Jets Slowly Growing Towards Model Franchise
