Player Discussion Thoughts on Bertuzzi?

[Fogelhund]

They had those guys in the playoffs, and they didn't score either

Robertson was a misused Rookie... Bertuzzi not much of an excuse, except he scored in the playoffs previously... maybe some of that was coaching.

But outside of the trite remark... a team that doesn't score in the playoffs, becoming even worse at scoring, isn't going to help.

Tre overpaid last year. Now someone else has an anchor. We didn't win..again. 5.5 mill! Ouch.

I don’t think about him, at all.

 

[Maple Leaf]

I think he watched Nylander float and realized he can float and didn't bring the energy and forecheck that I was expecting

My thoughts on a 30 yr old winger who had one good year, long ago. Don't pay him 5.5m on term when you can get one for a (Florida)2nd rounder at TD. Wing is not Toronto's weakness.

 

[Its not your fault]

I had such high hopes for this guy heading into last season. Coming off that kickass playoff run with Boston I thought, "He's gonna cash in 30 goals in his sleep and leave after one year."

Little did I know for half the year only the sleeping part was gonna be on the money. He scored a respectable amount of goals for that cap hit but looking forward to tomorrow, I'm dreading a long term deal. This guy's hockey IQ is suspect, his main attribute seems to be taking stupid penalties and agitating but he's not what I'd call a power forward.

Why does it say he's 6 2?

Probably Edmonton since they love ex-Leafs

Close Chicago which low key loves ex Leafs.
