[David Pagnotta] Il est encore très tôt dans le processus pour prévoir où cela ira, mais les #LeafsForever ont entamé des discussions contractuelles avec l’ailier en attente de l’UFA, Tyler Bertuzzi.

I would have to hope so. Bertuzzi publicly expressed an interest in returning. If you’re not talking to him you’re not doing your job.
I honestly think he was overpaid last season. He’s at most a $5 million a year player, and that’s being generous.
This won’t go well.
*So Tyler, are you willing to sign for less than $5 Million per season? Oh, you’re not? Ok, cool. Let us know if you change your mind.*
Another off-season of dumpster diving for hidden gems and reclamation projects begins.
Remember his birthday hatty? Good times
Incoming $6x6yr and naive fans trying to justify it.
Leafs are in no position to pay Bertuzzi unless we are missing some important inside information (ie clearing some cap space)
Set aside 9m for both his and Domi’s extensions, idc how much they split it. Ideally you go 5.25m x 5 for Bert and 3.75m x 4 for Domi
This man is about to be grossly overpaid and it will somehow be Dubas’ fault
Bertuzzi is very meh, if they resign him it better be for a lot less than last year.
Also he needs to be on the third line. He just doesn’t work with anyone with talent, but he could be an effective crash the net type player. But paying $5m for a 3rd liner is not a good idea.
While I would have liked to see results with Bertuzzi last year, he was a legitimately good player for us in the top 6.
Dear god just let this bum walk
Please no, that money should be spent elsewhere.
All well and good, like the player, like the fit. Marner or Tavares still has to go to make this work though.
So many people don’t understand hockey. What the fuck did they want Bertuzzi to score? 70 points? Dude played on the 2nd PP when it desperately needed a change despite Marner and Tavares doing nothing on it.
43 points playing on the 2nd PP is pretty darn good. We lost Hyman and look at him now. Did he ever get a shift on the first PP despite his net front presence?
I think Bert came a long way near the end of last season. I think it took him time to adjust last year.
I also think Coach B will get alot more out of him then Keefer did…
As long as it’s not an over pay, and the term isn’t too long. I think its a good idea to keep him.
Same for Domi, at a lower price.
We will see…
I’d take him as a bottom 6 guy
Can someone tell me what this guys good at? Doesn’t score. Cant stick handle. Can’t pass. Can’t keep his stick on the ice. Isn’t mean. Doesn’t hit. Does he fight?
Nooooooooooo, let him go

I wouldn’t mind if they passed on him if he wants more than 3-3,5
He falls over a lot, doesn’t even tape his stick and keeps losing the puck. He was invisible for big parts of the season as well. Not his best year.
I hate that so many people are like « well the caps going up so we’re free to piss away money and overpay more guys. »
I’ve heard this arguement for a number of players who would certainly be overpaid at the rumored number. « I like Domi, $5M/year is fine cause caps going up. Mid free agent dman XYZ only wants $6M/year so that’s fine cause the cap is going up. We might as well spend more on another goalie cause the cap is going up. »
I don’t know how to feel like this. It seems like a bad idea.
Run it back!
Decent player who we will grossly overpay and give too much term to. Let someone else be that team.
I hate this team
