from Frank Seravalli of TSN,
The question posed to Dustin Byfuglien at Friday’s All-Star media availability was a simple one, if not obvious.
Assuming that the dollars and term are equal around the NHL, is his preference to remain in Winnipeg?
Byfuglien’s answer did not exactly sound like a ringing endorsement.
“I just want to put on a jersey, to be honest with you,” Byfuglien said. “I don’t mind Winnipeg at all. It’s close to home for me - it’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to play by home. There’s so many good things that I like about Winnipeg. I can do my outdoor stuff that I love to do.
“I have no problem being up there.”
Byfuglien’s laid-back style can sometimes cloud his intended impact, and it’s dangerous to read too much into one quote. But saying “I have no problem being up there” is different than “I want to be there.”
