Former Bruins Tyler Bertuzzi

[BB88]

Don’t like the 2024 1st.

That was my one way or another move for adding to C

 

[Pandaman11]

Where does he fit in and who'll come out of the lineup for him?

 

[ranold26]

Salary retained would have helped.

50 percent... updated

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Does this team beat the 2011 team?

This team is deeper and more balanced than 2011, if all healthy.

 

[Patdud]

Who needs centers next year when your top 8 wings are Marchand, DeBrusk, Pasta, Hall, and Bertuzzi LOL

 

[FabulousLysell]

So maybe they plan on shipping out Reilly? I sure hope that's the case because I don't want Foligno or Hall out long term.

Don Sweeney assembling a legendary rat's nest by adding Hathaway and Bertuzzi to Marchand

Good, makes sense, there was absolutely no reason for Detroit not to retain as they have plenty of space

 

[DarrenBanks56]

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!

foligno looked done to me.
reminded me of the sturm injury in game 1 of 2010 playoffs against flyers.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Does Bertuzzi play RW? In Detroit he's always played L I think?

He plays both wings.

 

[missingchicklet]

DS continues to bring in players that I used to refer to as anatomical parts. This is a good thing.

The toughness meter on this team is insane. Bs were already hated enough. The big bad Bs are back and will be off the charts on the hate meter. Love it!

 

[Sheppy]

... HOW, HOW ARE THEY MAKING THIS WORK!?

I love Bertuzzi by the way. Wanted him here for years.

 

[Gee Wally]

I love the addition of him.

Having said that I hate that price for a rental.

 

[TSBruins13]

What, if any, draft picks could reilly/zboril fetch?

 

[22Brad Park]

To make this trade somebody is hurt bad because Bertuzzi is a rental

 

[NeelyDan]

Has a cup ever been won solely on the opponent succumbing to their hatred

 

[JoeIsAStud]

So maybe they plan on shipping out Reilly? I sure hope that's the case because I don't want Foligno or Hall out long term.

You still need to add a Zboril on top of that. 1.85 million of Reilly doesn't get you to 2.4. And they do really need to have some cap space for the potential call ups from Providence for March/April

 

[NeelyDan]

I love the addition of him.

Having said that I hate that price for a rental.

Dreger said B's don't necessarily view him as a rental

...which brings with it its own implications, of course

 

[goldnblack]

I love the addition of him.

Word is he may not be a rental...

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Monty said Hall injury was nothing basically now hearing this

Dr. Recchi talked with Monty real fast after the last whistle.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Salary retained would have helped.

I read 50% retained

BOSTON – Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, March 2, that the team has acquired forward Tyler Bertuzzi from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for a 2024 first-round draft pick (top-10 protected) and a 2025 fourth-round draft pick. Detroit will retain 50 percent of Bertuzzi’s salary.

Bertuzzi, 28, has appeared in 29 games with Detroit in 2022-23, recording four goals and 10 assists for 14 points. The 6-foot-1, 197-pound forward has played 305 career NHL games, all with Detroit, totaling 88 goals and 114 assists for 202 points. The Sudbury, Ontario native was originally selected by Detroit in the second round (58th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

 

[Ace0813]

Interesting acquisition. I haven't read the whole thread, but this indicates some concern to me that Hall/Fliggy are out long-term.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

What, if any, draft picks could reilly/zboril fetch?

We will likely find out today.

You certainly don't have to attach a pick to move him. As his low low price and potential, someone would absolutely take a chance on him
