Solid get

 

[The Nuge]

Referring to Bortuzzo as “former Isles D” is sure an interesting choice, even when it’s an Isles reporter. Regardless, there’s definitely worse options as a depth dman out there. Got to assume it’s league minimum or close to it

Good guy in the room. Tough vet. Not bad as bottom pair/7th D.

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Good depth piece. Brings some toughness, too

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Bortuzzo used to be such an excellent defensive bottom pairing guy on the Blues. Surprised he's still in the league.

 

[seafoam]

He's not an everyday player any more.

 

[Dr Robot]

As a blues fan I have a fondness for Bortz but hes pretty wore down. #7 with some grit and good in the room is probably where hes at now.

It was nice to see him get a cup with. St. Louis considering he missed the boat with the Pens. Good vet signing.

Yeah, he's known as a former Blue.

Utah has been loading up on playoff experience and Stanley Cup rings this off-season. They’d added just a ton to the roster.

 

[Reality Czech]

Hell yeah

Given that Hakanpaa seems to no longer be an option I'm surprised Treliving wasn't in on this.

Interesting they added Borts after adding Cole, as they were traded for each other years back.

 

[IslesNorway]

He'll do a job, unassuming as it is. A 7th dman who can show some ropes and play 20-30 games.

 

[Half Clapper]

This is exactly the guy I wanted for Utah. Nice veteran #7-8 D-man. How is he on the PK?

As a Blue he was an absolute monster on the PK, willing to do anything to block a shot.

[Schemp]

Not expected to be an every day player, but his signing solidifies a once porous defense. UtHC must have one of the top pk units now in the NHL!

Stanley Cup Champion Bobby B!
