The problem with the Ladd trade is you can't buyout Ladd and save anything in the near term (which is why NYI wants to move him in the first place). The contract is full of signing bonuses, and you get no break from those. Anyone that is going to take on Ladd is going to want the moon and stars to do so, because you are taking on all the risk.
Bertuzzi will easily break the $5mm/year mark, and probably beat his comparison (which is Tom Wilson). Wilson is a .36ppg player making 5.166mm/year. Bertuzzi is a .6PPG player. The market says he should be making around 5.25x5 years, which I suspect is what he will get. If he went to arbitration, Bertuzzi's floor would be $5mm/year (based on comparables) for a 1 year deal.
