Nope Brooks doesn't replace Bertuzzi's production and Amirov is probably still 2-3 years away from being NHL ready.
That doesn't make any sense. If Toronto sent a player that replaces Bertuzzi's production, why would they add? The point of this type of trade would be to get a guy of lesser quality than Bert + a "future" with higher/equal potential to Bert.
Personally, I'd be fine with something like Robertson (future) + Kerfoot (replacement) + conditional 1st/2nd (based on GP/playoffs/performance or something)

Because Yzerman has already said that he's not moving Bert unless he gets a younger version of Bert. From what Kevin Allen said Yzerman is looking more at a 1 for 1 deal so he probably wants Robertson for Bert.
What about Bertuzzi for Amirov, Brooks, and a 2023 1st.
I'm not sure because all we really know is Toronto is interested in Bertuzzi and Yzerman will listen to offers. So I think it's a big leap to think the trade will be an even one if it even happens.
Stop it that's a ridiculous overpay for a guy that is a huge question mark.
The way you use the word "ridiculous" is ridiculous. Sure you can say it's a small overpay, but Yzerman knows his guys worth and won't give up Bertuzzi for some crappy offer like Engvall and a 2nd (which seems to make leafs fans happy). If I were to make another offer, what about Kerfoot, Amirov, and a 2nd for Bertuzzi? Clearly it's hard to make both parties happy here.
