Brad Burud from Inside Edge Hockey News is fired up with “Big Buff.” Dustin Byfuglien decided not to report to camp this year and has left the Winnipeg Jets high and dry. It is his life and his career, but the timing was unprofessional. The Jets defense was decimated over the summer with free agency and now this is the final kicker. The Jets and his teammates are forced to deal with this as Byfuglien contemplates his career. The real question is, if Byfuglien decides to return how do his teammates and coaching staff react. With his salary is it too much to think that maybe the Jets don’t want a half motivated “big buff” back?

Zucker’s Mouth and Cap Hell

Listen to “THE DEBATE – Hockey Podcast – Episode 76 – Zucker’s Mouth and Cap Hell” on Spreaker.

It is time to talk hockey!  Brad Burud and Blake Friars talk Jason Zucker.  Is this guy trying to get traded?   Were his comments overblown?  The Zucker story is dissected.  Then it is time to talk NHL Salary Cap, and is the NHL broke?  I mean broke?  There is no money left for players to make trades or sign players.  Only eight NHL teams have over 5 million in cap space.  That is scary.  Then its time to talk feuds, Darcy Keumper, Jake Allen, Edmonton’s Goaltenders, John Carlson, Dallas struggles, and will the Canucks resign Markstrom?  Another heated episode of THE DEBATE Hockey Podcast.
