Since I have summoned so many wings fans, what do you think Bertuzzis value is? I'm genuinely curious
His objective value and what it would take to tade for him are two different things.
He is a cost controlled first line winger on both Detroit and Toronto (as per your, and others, ACGMs) that plays both sides equally well and plays both PP and PK. He has great hockey-IQ, reads the play very well, and plays with tenacity and grit as well as being technically skilled and a good passer and is great at deflections.
If Detroit had had other players available that could take his place, or if he hadn't been cost controlled he would probably fetch around a 1st + a 2nd + a blue chip prospect to any contender. As it is he is so valuable to Detroit that any deal would have to include a direct replacement player in addition to that.
He's comparable in value to how you would view William Nylander if you didn't have Matthews, Tavares, and Marner on your team.
