In his latest Minnesota Wild notes blog, The Athletic’s Michael Russo heavily touches on the lengthy rumor of Dustin Byfuglien signing with his home-state team. It has been going on ever since the 35-year-old defenseman decided to mutually terminate his contract with the Winnipeg Jets and become a free agent, while also semi-retiring.
Even if all we heard from his representatives, is that he’s done playing professional hockey, his agent Ben Hankinson still holds out hope for the 35-year-old to get back into game shape and continue his career.
