Four weeks remain until the trade deadline, and for Dustin Byfuglien and several other high-profile pending unrestricted free agentss that means it's decision time.
I suspect the Winnipeg Jets will take another run at signing Byfuglien, a very popular player on that market, not to mention a difficult player to replace.
But, as always, the money and term have to work for both sides.
He has the kind of demeanor that helps him cope with the uncertainty, but even the cool-as-a-cucumber Byfuglien admitted to me after the All-Star Game that -- just like with any other pending free agent dealing with uncertainty -- it's on his mind.
