“Going back to the start of training camp, that’s when we met with Dustin and those are all pretty well-documented stuff and obviously over the course of time here, he has had an ankle surgery here now and we’re dealing with that,” Cheveldayoff told reporters during a media availability on Thursday afternoon. “So with respect to really anything else that I can comment on, that’s pretty much where it’s at at this point in time. We’re in constant conversations with his agents and that’s where we’re at.”
Leah Hextall: “I reached out to the @NHLPA for clarity on Dustin Byfuglien‘s options (IF he chooses to take them) to receive compensation from the Jets during his rehab from ankle surgery. The PA confirmed they’re in contact with his agent Ben Hankinson and are currently reviewing this matter.”
