WINNIPEG SUN: Ken Wiebe and Ted Wyman debate over Dustin Byfuglien’s future with the Jets. Byfuglien becomes eligible next summer for unrestricted free agency.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Byfuglien has emerged as the Jets’ impact player. He should be re-signed, but of course it’ll depend upon his asking price. If he seeks over $7 million annually on a long-term deal, that could prove too expensive for the Jets.

Of all players mentioned , which one do you all think eats the most amount of peanut butter?
Dorion is great at what he does – scouting. Find someone else to take over Murray’s job and bring him in sometime after the start of the next season to learns the system.
