I’ll be honest it’s been a horrible year for bertuzzi but it’s only a one year contract at the end of the day. Leafs could probably trade him at the deadline if they wanted. Compensation won’t be big but I bet someone takes a shot at him.
And this is what is wrong with the Maple Leafs. News media meddling in where it shouldn't be. Shut your pie holes and let the boys play hockey instead of nit picking their stats
Put numbers aside. Bertuzzi is always screening the goal tender. Leafs haven't had a legit netfront player since Kadri and they have tried a ton of players. Go look at Matthews first 2 games of the season both he had hat tricks and look at where Bertuzzi was. Then go on and watch all the other goals Bert was on the ice for and where he is and I can tell you he is in the right spot 75% of the time which is in front of the goalie creating issues and forcing defenders to defend him.

Thank god he's not in a red wings jersey anymore. The leafs deserve him
I’ve been saying Robertson needs to be a permanent guy in the lineup
This is how I feel about poitras with the bruins. Can’t develop a young player by giving them less than 10 minutes a night

I thought bertuzzi was going to be a puck fetcher for the first line..and all around bad guy but he barely hits people

Bertuzzi goes in those areas where most don’t to get the puck you can’t put a price on that.
