from Frank Seravalli of TSN,
The Winnipeg Jets’ salary cap picture appears to finally be coming into clearer focus three weeks before TradeCentre.
The Jets and defenceman Dustin Byfuglien are working toward a mutual contract termination over the next several days, according to multiple sources, which would formally end his suspension and bring to a close the grievance Byfuglien filed in November.
For the Jets, the termination would bring much-needed clarity to their salary cap picture, freeing up GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to use the $7.6 million in space they have earmarked for Byfuglien all season in case he returned to play or successfully grieved his suspension.
If executed, the contract termination would also make Byfuglien an unrestricted free agent, free to resume his career with any team of his choosing.
