What does bertuzzi cost

I certainly would not want to spend this much. The wings shouldn't move him anyways. This is probably a situation of it not working for either side.

You gotta admit that’s a better team though.

if you give up 3 firsts and 3 2nd for Rickard Rakell, you might have a better team, but its obviously not the right move if you are seriously overpaying.

If Benning drops a penny wrong everyone is calling for his head, this move would literally reignite riots in Vancouver to get the GM out of there.

After trading Mantha I think it's safe to say Bertuzzi stays in Detroit. If Yzerman was to trade Bertuzzi it would probably look a lot like the Mantha trade which was an overpay. So a player pretty close in value and skill and a 1st. Without the cap dumps.

I would never trade with Yzerman. If he called me I would say nice f****** try Steve, I've seen you win too many trades. Even if you thought you got a good deal, you probably didn't lol. He could be offering a 3rd for Roussell and somehow I'd question accepting the trade because he always wins.
