Jay Onrait was joined by TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado to get his thoughts on the acquisition of Tyler Bertuzzi and how he will fit into the Leafs’ lineup, and breaks down all the other moves made by Brad Treliving so far during free agency.

Don’t mind Bertuzzi, but I wish they added Killorn or Zucker. Problem with the Leafs is now ‘we’ don’t have a strong leadership core. Is Ryan Reaves going to play a full 82?
Leafs getting absolutely cooked by a real team still
need a solid defenceman
Frankie’s a great analyst
All we need now is Tom Wilson!The Bay Street Bullies are back baby! The analytics rules are out the window 🤘
Wasn’t expecting Bruins to lose a player like this to the Leafs. He doesn’t play anything at all like a Leaf – so once Leafs get good forwards like this – it could hurt Bruins if Leafs end up stopping to over pay their present Core 3 (JT has really already aged out – thus making it now no longer a true Core 4). Why not start thinking about buying out JT in about a year? Maybe getting Wheeler from the Rangers to create cap space?
Problem is money leaf’s are over the cap good news is I think Ottawa and Detroit are way overrated the Sabres are loaded with dahlin power and Thompson but they still are young
Still never gonna win the cup!
Not bad, but seems like they could have just kept Bunting or Hyman. They give Bertuzzi 5.5 but couldn't give Hyman 5 and they couldn't give Bunting 4.5. If you look at stats, similar size, similar age, Bunting has better plus minus, similar points, both can put up 50-60 points…both can play hard. Seems odd to me. But Leafs made up for losing Bunting but I wouldn't say they got better.
Onrait’s nose is so far up Treliving ‘s Butt it’s brown
Can't wait for everyone to start moaning about the Leafs being a dirty team next season 🤣🤣🤣
How about
Matthews-Marner-Jarnkrok
Knies-Tavares-Nylander
Bertuzzi-Kampf-Lafferty
Domi-Holmberg-Reaves
Reilly / Liljegren
McCabe / Timmins
Zohorna / Klingberg
Woll / Samsonov
5.5 for 38 points? 3 for 58 points?
Is there salary cap anymore
Bertuzzi & Domi are Great signings ..I like it .. BUT .. now 8 million Over the Cap … possibly .. Trade ..Morgan Reilly & Matt Murray to Pittsburg .. the GM there might be interested . .. lol
They have two goalies signed and one misses heaps of time due to injuries. The defense is anchored by two studs. The rest are defensively challenged defensemen. Expecting their 40 year old defenseman to play outstanding again this year is stretching the limits of credibility. I don't care what the Leaf's hype this bucket of bolts as. This is not going to get the job done.
$5.5M for a player who has only played more than 30 games in a season, once out of the past four. Bertuzzi has played precisely HALF the games he should have at this point in his career. Yet, Frankie boy here, seems impressed at the pick up.
That's a "great deal for both parties", eh, Corrado? No wonder you were the bottom feeding player you were in the NHL. Your hockey IQ, is hilariously worthless.
I actually feel bad for Toronto fans who understand how bad Treliving has been already. You people, don't deserve what's coming. To all the fans that are pulling the "we want florida" card right now, with their over confidence and downright arrogance? I look forward to hysterically laughing at your expense once again, this coming spring. 😁
Bertuzzi and Domi are exactly the kind of players the Leafs need. I'll give Treliving an "A" just for making those moves. Now, unload Nylander and go get a couple of defencemen.
It doesn’t matter.
Because of that doofus on the bench wearing a suit.
They’ve added three fun forwards to watch, but have zero defensive game. Once again, MLSE has proven they’re more interested in selling tickets and merch than winning a cup.
I love leafs fans. They do nothing “OH MY GOD WE ARE WINNING THE CUP” they get 4 m over the cap “this is a great off season”
The bang bro’s I like these guys
Who's playing defence?? Not much money left – get out the used duct tape.
2 best players in the world ?????ba ha ha ha ha ha ha … see..this is why laff fans are laughed at and hated !!
His moves are typical leafs moves uve seen in the past ie David Clarkson, Simmons etc etc , this team is garbage and will remain so
Nylander and pick or prospect for hanifin and zadorov would be unreal. Unload Murray for Sammy sign and unload brodie.
I think nylander will be a sign and trade for a goalie or defence. He’ll get what he wants on another team. Winnipeg or Calgary. Hellybuck or hanafin zadorov
They still need D and a goalie..
The real test is about who he gets rid of, in regard to high salary players. Tons of players lost, at this point….so there is a huge shake-up happening. How it gels is anyone's guess. Signing people for one year is easy. The problem with the Leafs is about signing players longer term….for a salary that actually works. If Treliving gives either Matthews or Nylander a raise, he's a clear failure.
Bertuzzi, Missing Montreal on his List, then He'd have played for the Teams with the moat hardcore fanbases.
Never mind us fans. How JACKED are Mathews and Marner now?😁😁.
