I adore this deal. It doesn't interefere with the Matthews / Nylander extensions, doesn't committ an unruly amount of term to a guy that has dealt with injuries, and allows us to renegotiate a contract next year when the cap raises. This is just a perfect fit and a perfect scenario for the Leafs. Brad is not screwing around
Does anyone know if Maple Leafs fans rallied in Downtown Toronto to shout "We want Bertuzzi!"?
Need strong season to sign big contract from cap rise next year.
I l;ike it as sure you could say why not 5.25m x 7 years to that I say what if he gets hurt year 1 or sucked that would become an anchor fast. If he works out next year with the cap going through a big jump talk to him about an extension
Didn't see this coming. Kept hearing he was going to get 6-8 for term and thought it nuts considering he was coming off a season where kerfoot outscored him. But he has way more upside so a one year deal? Nice!
