Detroit passes Yzerman likes big Dmen and Sandin is too small. 2024 1st needs to be 2023 1st Abramov and Kerfoot add little to no value for Detroit For Bertuzzi at 50% retention that package needs to be substantially better than this.

You give up a 1st and Sandin for a guy you won't resign next season. Why?

Then he absolutely isn't worth it.

Fine because we're not looking at unloading him. If they can't come up with an agreement by the TDL. Detroit can get a better offer from an American team better than this.

You guys think Bertuzzi is going to get elite player level returns. I hate to break it to you but he's a middle 6 forward on most contenders. A secondary forward isn't getting you as much as you think.

He's a better version of Copp and he didn't get a 1st at all.

Even as a rental Bertuzzi will get us a young roster player of similar value plus a 1st or 2nd round pick or B prospect. There are at least as many has 6-7 teams that have strong interest in Bert.

Copp got a 1st, 2nd and 5th...

Sure bud

And it was a pretty ridiculous price to pay. You are likely right that some bad GM will pay that much but I doubt it.
