Tell me, do you expect that a team will be competitive at all if Tyler Bertuzzi is your best player as you have suggested? Let me help you with that: No. So here's how this works... either players like Mantha, Zadina, Larkin, Raymond, Rasmussen, Berggren, Veleno, etc. step up or step in and force Bertuzzi down the lineup, or you remain a bad team. So the way that I see it is pretty simple, either Bertuzzi is not one of your best 3 or 4 forwards, or Bertuzzi isn't a Red Wing. Sure, he might play on the first line, but the team is not going to be competitive if he is a foundational piece of the first line.
