Sell this guy now...get a 6th round pick, save the money.
Bert is the biggest waste of money on the team. At least Klingberg is not taking up a spot a young player could fill.
I literally cannot for the life of me understand how this guy was a sought after UFA....he brings nothing tangible to the table. It's not like he gets tons of chances and it's bad luck. Shocked to see his career high in goals is more than 15g with the way he plays. He should have taken a longer term deal from some GM instead of this roll of the dice he did here...it's going to cost him a lot of $$$.
 
Complete fail. I’ll reserve more judgement until playoffs, if we make it. Maybe he has a monster playoffs???
 
Don't worry folks when playoffs start Bert will help us in front of net and bang in a few and he will win some forecheck wall battles which is playoff hockey .. Bert is not really a regular season player .. but he will be exactly what we need when we fight Florida .. it will be a wall game and warriors will win da day

If they can package him off for whatever return and use that cap space and whatever spare change towards something else, that would be the way to go…

But as hard as people are on him he looks like a buzzy third liner whom you wouldn’t mind having if only he didn’t make $5.5 million.
 
This guy is a total dud. I hope he knows that he's tanking his career with this year's performance. Nothing will kill a player's standing in public opinion more than being overpaid on the Maple Leafs. Just look at one bad season from Tyson Barrie as a comparison.

Bertuzzi would probably have gotten a multi-year deal at his current 5.something or more if he had just been average with Toronto this year.

Now he's a straight up cap-dump. I can't stand this guy.

Plus it gives him a chance to rebuild his value for his next contract... maybe he fits better elsewhere.

Unless he has a steller playoff series, which I can't foresee, he's done as a leaf. He has to do a lot for this team to resign him

Not to mention Nylander's contract kicks in next year.
I would argue he himself can't wait to get out of here

What’s stopping him from winning puck battles and banging in rebounds now?

If he wants out, breaking a sweat would be a good start. He has demonstrated only that he can cash a cheque, embarrass his Toronto friends and family and father a child (the best work he has done no doubt).
The combo of him and Domi has demonstrated that Leaf pro scouts have zero ability.

That's a pretty bad and embarrassing take.

Didn't they just sign Benoit this offseason?
 
Well

The Don Cherry fans loved the signing of Domi and Bert and Reaves and they have all been disappointments. Wait till playoffs.....where the rules change to promote goons or players that have little skill?

How much of a chance do you give Bert? Awkward skating...hands of stones it seems and all 3 have a issue playing defense.

We have fans prasing Rease on the 4th line again......did he attempt to protect McCable? and was again a minus player....but hey....he can wrestle in the corners with the best of them.

Thank God for Benoit .....

I dont have much faith in our GM at the trade deadline.........just imagine if Bert was signed to a long term deal like Trev wanted...

Has our secondary scoring been this bad the last several years?
 
Didn't they just sign Benoit this offseason?
Klingberg, flop 4.1m
Bert flop, 5.5m
Domi, flop
Samsanov, bum, 3.5m
Reaves, flop, 3 yrs
Gregor, ???
Benoit, good, 900,000

1 out if 7
Either Treliving doesn't listen or scouts are bad

Benoit didn’t even start the season on the team though, if we didn’t run into injuries odds are we never would have called him up. Doesn’t strike me as them saying “we need to get this guy, he’s an undervalued gem”, just got lucky on a generic filler piece like we did with Benn before.
 
Where were y'all before the season started when I was saying this was a shit signing?
 
Boy was I wrong on Bert.

I really wanted to like the guy, but.hes played like rubbish for way too many games this season. It would be nice if he's still on the team he brings it during the playoffs, but worth remembering th guys only played a single playoff series in his entire NHL career so that's not exactly a lot to go on.

Imo one would be hard pressed to argue he deserves even Jarnkrok level dollars this offseason
