Dustin Byfuglien was reportedly arrested on Wednesday and charged with BWI (read: the Cedric Benson special).
He was also reportedly 286 pounds – almost 40 more than he played at last year.
The “We should have kept Buff over Bolland/Ladd/Sharp/Hjalmarsson” debate is now officially over.
never over sharp but i would take buff over the other 3….
The Hawks are lucky to have kept Sharp. I would never take Buff over the other 3 even Hjalmarsson. Bolland’s absence was obviously felt last year and I am a big Ladd fan. I lived in Carolina when they won the Cup. I watched Ladd and saw his impact on the Hawks during the Cup Year. We missed him a lot last year…
Ladd wears a C for a reason. Buff has a knack of disappearing the second half of the year. 09-10 playoff run was great but not his long term mantra. I rank them like this
Sharp
Bolland
Buff
Hammer
Sharp
LADD
Bolland
Buff
Hammer
I so agree with Tab. I also agree with Peter. Ladd is a great player and person. He just got married so he is looking towards his future and not messing around. He has not won Stanley Cups for nothing! lol Yup, poor Buffy will be huffing and puffing on the ice with all that extra weight plus they signed him for good money long term, oh lord..haha..Good Luck Laddy in getting him the puck, in shape & up and down the ice, whew!
Hmmm, so I guess he’ll no longer be referred to as Big Buff, shall we just say BIG?
