Winnipeg, meet Dustin Byfuglien. He's a big guy that mans the blueline for the Winnipeg Jets. Here's a quick look at some of Big Buff's key statistics.
245 – Overall draft selection of Dustin Byfuglien in the 2003 NHL Entry draft (Chicago Blackhawk’s 8th round choice). In the eighth round, Buff was a great pick, only six spots down from fellow Jets’ defenceman, Tobias Enstrom (239th overall), and only 20 spots ahead of recent addition Tanner Glass.
77 – Inches tall, or 6-foot-5. That’s how tall Big Buff is. Certainly comes by the nickname honestly.
20 – Goals scored by Byfuglien in the 2010-11 season, which is a career-high, and the most in a single season by a defenceman in franchise history.
53 – Points tallied in the 2010-11 season, also a career high, and a franchise high for points by a defenceman in a single season.
