TO: 
D Dustin Byfuglien 87 TWD 5.200 2016 UFA
TO:
D Alexander Edler 88 TWD 5.0 UFA 2019
This was real tough to move Buff, first because he was an All-Star, and second, he was the biggest name of the Winnipeg franchise. It really all came down to "Who's gonna stay on the team longer?" I had a feeling that Byfuglien, after his contract was up, would test free agency, even if it is a few years away. I felt that Edler would stay with us longer because he has 5 years left. So, I made the move.
Best of luck to Dustin, welcome to Flight School, Alex!
Winnipeg Accepts.
