Former Bruins Tyler Bertuzzi

[Drift]

Lol Marchand Bertuzzi Frederic Hathaway. So many rats. That czech line is too nice.

I really hope he doesn't get a ton of PIM's in the playoffs

Trade is official:

 

[goldnblack]

THIS IS WHAT I SAID!

Man they may view Orlov and Bertuzzi as Pasta insurance for real. And re-upp both.

 

[chrisab123]

Sweeney doesn't have a great draft record. So I don't really care if he gets rid of 1st rounders. Good player

 

[BadBruins]

Stunned. Another perfect addition.

 

[Bruinaura]

No way he plays tonight, I assume?

 

[22Brad Park]

Bertuzzi has Bruin written all over him at least.The guy is 1 hard bastard to play against

I generally hate trading these 1st rounders - even if they are late - but the TB article in the Athletic after the Jeannot trade has some interesting info on the actual value of a late pick against a known asset:

Also, if getting Bertuzzi gives Pasta more information on what this team looks like for seasons 2024-2026 then I think its absolutely worth the '24 1st round pick. Detroit maybe thinks it'll be closer to #20 than #30 by then.

Bertuzzi gives Pastrnak that much less money on his contract to re-sign.

Either that or Pastrnak already told them he's going to FA and Bruins try to re-sign Bertuzzi instead.

I'm thinking that Hall and Foligno may be out for quite a while. This was the right move in an 'all in' year.

But at this point next year (or in June) when somebody on here rips Sweeney for trading all his picks, let me be the first to tell you to SHUTUP!

Loving this addition, but I'm starting to get a bit queazy about how barren the draft cupboard is looking.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Unbelievable but this must assume he is here long term and not a rental?

Good bye Reilly?

 

[missingchicklet]

Hopefully his hand keeps getting better and he stays free from injury. His scoring is down because of all the games he missed and it's damn hard to shoot coming off a broken hand.

He’s a UFA. What are you talking about?

 

[BTO]

He is now known as Dong Sweeney, because the man has been laying pipe this deadline

 

[Fenian24]

Bertuzzi is f***ing awesome. A warrior of a hockey player and very skilled

Please be nice to him

He plays like a p***k and scores, he will be treated well.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

The other guy suggested re-signing Bertuzzi and used it as a reason for Pastrnak to stay. Or at least that's what I gathered since he said, it gives Pastrnak a glimpse of what this team looks like.

Additionally, neither Bertuzzi or Pastrnak are signed next year; but I have a hard time figuring out the money to get them signing both. Right now, who knows if Pastrnak is coming back, they've had since July to figure it after Sweeney said they were aggressively going to pursue an extension.

 

[Bodit9]

YESSSSS!!!!! I LOVE BERTUZZI!!! Another guy who is a major pain in the ass to play against, tons of grit. And has some skill.

 

[Alicat]

No way he plays tonight, I assume?

He could since Detroit is at home as well tonight

 

[smithformeragent]

Salary retained would have helped.

 

[TSBruins13]

Does this team beat the 2011 team?

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Don is all in. Love this trade. More than likely Sweeney has something going on with Zboril and Reilly going out. Hopefully anyways.

Not worried about it. . team will be good again next year. 25 and beyond may be concern years

They have to win first
