Bertuzzi can’t play in Canada so Leafs decline

This would be next season with no restrictions anymore.

DET fans will tell you that Leafs is the one adding. Quite considerably to boot.

Detroit adds nothing. 1 for 1.

Lets see.

Ppg is a wash.

Bert has the better contract in an era where cap is a massive premium but one less year of term. Both are UFAs.

Hard to see what’s out of balance really. I think it’s close to a 1 for 1 without a lot of addition on either side - assuming bert can play in Canada with no restrictions at the time of trade.

The fact that toronto would be getting retention on bert makes me feel like they’d need to add. It’s basically like getting a William Nylander for ~2.35m.
