Nice

Ya know, that's a great deal ya know

I always liked this guy when he was on the Pens a long time ago. Glad he's been able to stick it out in the league.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Given our defensive depth in the system and what Bortuzzo brings to the PK. Love this deal

 

[Blanick]

Happy to have Bortuzzo back if for no other reason than the locker room presence. There hasn't really been anyone to come along and take that spot from him yet so this signing makes a lot of since for the Blues.

 

[PocketNines]

really good price for a rugged, PK-ing RD vet

Bozak, Bortuzzo and hopefully Perron are willing to take less to extend their careers another year or two and be role players on a team with a chance to compete for the Cup

Garbage, dirty player

Love Bobbo. Glad to keep him in the Note.

It would really suck if someone cross-checked him while he was on his knees and cause him to miss two months. Would be terrible!

 

[Mike Liut]

Is there a better #6-7 in the league?

Ribs still sore, Magnus?

Great deal for what he provides.

Happy for ya, Bort!

He’s well worth that.

Bargain

This piece of shit still playing?

Damn I gotta say, I think that's a wonderful deal for a savvy veteran who sticks up for teammates, PK's and plays a hard game. Sometimes the cost of that style is crossing the line time to time. Nice deal for the blues, imo. I love all the 'holier than thou' people on this forum, LOL.

 

[Tender Rip]

A shame we couldn't have him back on the Pens on that kind of contract.

 

[BFLO]

Was hoping the Sabres would pick him up in the off season. Could have easily payed 2x-3x what he got.

One of the best shot blockers in the league, period! Lays it on the line. Excellent PK'er too. Loved by his teammates.

Intentionally injures other players. great guy!

You know when one poster continues to post over and over again, someone is living in his head....

Cheap contract for a depth player. Good deal for both sides.

Two more years of frequent power plays for the rest of the Central division, love it!
