Go to the latest threads and you can see all the Red Wings fans comments about the cost being a 1st + Fraser Minten to the Leafs if the Leafs wanted Bertuzzi
This is beyond all in for the Bs. No cap, no new blood, and no picks after this run.
Bruins don't really have a great history of drafting amazing 1st rounders, they have never been that type of team. They have a better history of trading for players and having them perform better in their system than their previous (Hall, Ullmark, Foligno, Zacha, Lindholm, etc).
Boston: Gets a top 9 power forward. He's also capable of putting up points he scored a lot last year but hes more of a playmaker than a goal scorer, seems like he'd be A very good playoff performer based on his play style. Also scared of needles lol.
Detroit: Gets a first round pick for next year. That is top 10 lottery protected. I like this for Detroit because Boston seems like the perfect team that's gonna drop down-to-earth next year. Especially if pasta or Bergeron are gone. If the condition is it becomes a Unprotected 2025 1st round pick then there's huge potential here for Detroit.
Thanks Yzerman... Could you not have traded him outside of the division? Good get for Boston
Considering the reason Bertuzzi didn't get extended was because he wanted to get PAID, I don't see him sticking around in Boston, this is purely a rental.
Fair deal. Boston gets a top 6 winger who's a PITA to play against when healthy and Detroit gets assets for a guy they were never going to give a long term extension.
