Value of: Tyler Bertuzzi at TDL

[tony135420]

Damn, $5.5M is a lot of money for Toronto for 4-7 games!

But seriously, if this year is any indicator, Bertuzzi fits Boston's team identity way better than Toronto's. I actually thought Boston was the perfect fit for Bert.

Yes, because Boston is coached better and actually knows their identity.

It's painfully clear, Tre made some terrible signings trying to do in the off season what Dubas tried ecery trade deadline. Adding grit and leadership to this team. Unfortunately, grit and leadership is all in the bottom 6 and bottom pairing. The Leafs will continue to be a team in futility until they reralize, every cup contender has grit, leadership AND skill in their top players. Hard to lead from the back of the line.

Gryz for bert, I’ll start the paper work

 

[KJoe88]

Don’t want him back in Detroit.

 

[JetsFan815]

I'd offer Alex Iafallo. Leafs retain about a million so that it is a cap neutral transaction for both teams.

 

[bigbadbruins1]

He'd easily come back to boston with his BFF marchand. maybe a 2nd or a 3rd plus a prospect?

He’s got full move though. On a one year deal that probably means he didn’t want to be traded and most likely won’t waive.

He wants to earn another contract and to maximize the value on it.
He likely doesn’t accept a trade to a team that is clearly out of the playoffs but I do t see why he would reject a trade to another playoff team.
He knows it isn’t going great here. I’m sure he would welcome a change of scenery if it was a good situation he was moving into.

I always considered Iafallo as a Kerfoot clone.

Kerfoot and Bertuzzi have had about the same impact on the Leafs so I’d say it’s about right. Just don’t see it happening though.

Clearly isn't working out in Toronto. Taking space in the line-up over some young guns who deserve the opportunity.

Does he have any value going into TDL if Toronto decides to move on?

What TOR youngsters are coming into the lineup that will put up .5 ppg while providing some grit? Bert is not having a good season, but the Leafs have no youth that is ready to take his spot.

Yeah, thats the weirdest part of the reasoning here. Maybe OP is a firm believer in the high qualities of Voit

 

[lilidk]

Back to Detroit for a 3rd. He can play with Larkin and Raymond again

And Kostin

Don’t want him back in Detroit.

Larkin said, he is my friend

 

[General Fanager]

This.

And if he does agree he is picking his team and dropping his value.

what value?

Pass

 

[RocketKing]

PLD with retention straight up for Bertuzzi

Crazy incorrect considering Robertson has been sitting most of the games these past two weeks, holmberg has 8pts in 20 games with limited ice time, and we have guys in the AHL that absolutely deserve a chance, i.e. alex steeves, 24 yo

PLD with retention straight up for Bertuzzi

PLD would love Toronto.
