While there has been no official word from Dustin Byfuglien or the Winnipeg Jets regarding his personal leave of absence from the team, TSN's Bob McKenzie says the 34-year-old blueliner is taking some time to "ponder his NHL future."

Byfuglien is in the fourth year of a five-year contract with the Jets. Mckenzie says neither his agent or the Jets would respond to a request for comment.

Should Byfuglien decide that he's done playing hockey, his absence would leave a void on Winnipeg's blueline. Not only can he contribute offensively, Byfuglien is a big body that can throw huge hits and get under the opposing team's skin.
