Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign F Tyler Bertuzzi (1 year, $5.5M)

[ORRFForever]

Wow. Good job. Something to be happy about.

 

[Steven1562]

Wow shocked. The kid is coming home. Wonder how the covid stuff will work... didn't expect him to sign here. He's the perfect winger on a Matthews- Marner line.

 

[Buds17]

If we fail this year before the TDL he will probably garner alot of value back at the TDL.

One year deals could restock our farm system if we shit the bed

This just does not compute with me!

It's still an entirely reasonable and valid point though, yes.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Also best part about this is he clearly snubbed the Bruins.

The guy's got THE PASSION

Yes that's great too. They dumped another really good player in Hall because they were so desperate to bring him back, sucks to suck

 

[LeafGrief]

Huge pickup, exactly what this team needs in the top6.

I don't think covid is much of an issue now.

 

[justashadowof]

Someone explain the logic of one year from his perspective? Was it the number, we were higher, because he’s taking a big risk and it’s bizarre to do that given his age and UFA status to shore up his future.

I f***ing hate this guy but I’m going to forget about his past nonsense and start fresh.

You need get over that stuff. That you still haven't figured out that most of it was utter horseshit surprises me.

 

[Madap]

Good signing. If somehow Robertson is able to make the team and contribute offensively then this could be a really good forward group. I’d still like a little more depth but with limited cap space now it seems unlikely.

 

[Mess]

The 1 year deal only way it could work.

This is a big win for BT.

 

[Steven1562]

Well at least we got some guys who will stir shit up in Bertuzzi+Reaves. I hope we actually defend our teammates when they get slammed to the ice like Knies was.

 

[Legion34]

Not an issue this year, but next year's cap hit will be an issue during the real cap crunch for the Leafs.

Meh I have run it was willy at 9.5 and Auston at 13.5 which would be high probably.

And it’s doable on an 87.5 cap pretty easily.

I just wish we got term on Bert

 

[mikeyz]

Probably means we ar3 out on Domi but we don't know the money yet so maybe not.

Not necessarily.

 

[stickty111]

A middle 6 forward maybe thats Domi, and a bottom 6 forward and we are good.
I would leave the defence alone honestly.
Sign Sammy and Nylander to extensions.

 

[al secord]

Not necessarily.

Barf

 

[Rob Brown]

A middle 6 forward maybe thats Domi, and a bottom 6 forward and we are good.
I would leave the defence alone honestly.
Sign Sammy and Nylander to extensions.

Can’t sign two more forwards and Sammy without clearing space.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Love this signing, now get Domi and make my day.

 

[SprDaVE]

I'm pretty about this. No term, zero risk, all upside.

I assume if he has a good year the Leafs will offer him term.

 

[Future]

One year is weird. I’ll try to get past my dislike for his me first attitude.

What an off-season, sheesh.

Me-first attitude?

 

[DarkKnight]

You need get over that stuff. That you still haven't figured out that most of it was utter horseshit surprises me.

Wow.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Also best part about this is he clearly snubbed the Bruins.

The guy's got THE PASSION

The reverse of the Foligno snub when he went to Boston after his stint with us. Better for us since Bertuzzi is younger and better than Foligno was at that point.

 

[saltming]

A middle 6 forward maybe thats Domi, and a bottom 6 forward and we are good.
I would leave the defence alone honestly.
Sign Sammy and Nylander to extensions.

Unless we trade Brodie for say hanifin or pesce

 

[Maple Leaf]

Barf

Is ok boss

 

[The Management]

Our left side in the top six looks pretty good with Knies and Bertuzzi.

I'm not Domi's biggest fan, but he has pretty good hands and can distribute the puck. Might be a guy you can swap between the second and third line to give them a spark.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Not necessarily.

Holy shit if they can bring in Domi too.

Bertuzzi Matthews Marner

Domi Tavares Nylander

Knies Kampf Jarnkrok
OR

Bertuzzi Matthews Marner

Knies Tavares Nylander

Jarnkrok Domi ?

either way that's a very good top 9 if they can add Domi

 

[Antropovsky]

Would've been great to get him on that contract with more term. Treliving fixing the Hyman mistake by Dubas.
