[David Pagnotta]The #LeafsForever remain in contract negotiations with Tyler Bertuzzi’s camp. Still too early to determine where it goes, but I’m told both sides “continue to work at it” ahead of him hitting UFA status July 1.

I hope it’s 4×4.5 for both max term and dollars
Bert is just a completely unique animal. I’d be happy to have him here for a few more years.
I’m glad he might be sticking around but I hope this number is going to be reasonable…
He can’t skate, he can’t shoot but damn I love him.
He’s very effective for a player who can’t shoot or skate.
5×5 would be perfect for the leafs…
I bet is closer to 6 and for 4 or 5 years.
I’m fine with it either way, anything over 6 is too much tho….
I’m good with this – I just hope that if we do get him back, we use him on PP1 instead of Tavares where he belongs.
Bertuzzi on PP1 – 9 goals in 37 minutes.
Tavares on PP1 – 32 goals in 201 minutes.
So about 50% better with Bertuzzi. Tavares is a below median finisher close to the net.
Can they afford both him and Domi? I hope this doesn’t leave Domi out
I think they’re in a pretty good spot if they can get both Domi and Bert for around $9 mill combined. That shores up the forward group and leaves around $13 million for defense, and goaltending.
I guess they have some RFA’s to sign too, but none of Lily, Robertson or Dewar are getting big paydays
Just move on
I think anything under 5 million AAV is great value for the leafs.
only reason why ppl like him is because he played with passion and messed with Marchand all series. he’s a liability against a better team. it is fun watching him play though and do unique plays like when he did that big kick behind the net on the puck.
Dude is about to be one of the richest homeless people in the country
Absolute max I’d offer Domi+Bert is 9M. Split it up how you want and pick your term of no more than 4 years.
Just let him walk, he’s not very good
