Seems like a fair trade to win the cup

Can Bertuzzi even play for the Leafs? Right now he can enter the US as a resident on a US work visa but foreigners(see: Canadians) still need to be vaccinated to enter. Once he leaves a US team, he might not be able to get back into the US.

Detroit accepts

He played in Ottawa and got back in side he can play here and go back and forth they have lifted the covid restrictions

RW accept, Toronto fans decline. They're not Dubas, though, so doesn't matter.

over their careers, especially the last 4 seasons, Bertuzzi has put up points at a very very comparable rate to kerfoot at 5v5 (1.8, 1.4, 2.5 and 1.4 vs 1.8, 1.7, 2.6 and 1.7) with softer zone starts. Is he worth more in a trade? Sure, but not near this much more

And there's reasons for that. They lifted covid restrictions on people living in the US but foreigners still need to be vaccinated to enter. Once he loses his US work visa, like getting traded to a Canadian team, he is just another Canadian and would need to be vaccinated to enter.

I'm sorry but a 2023 1st and Minten is too much

Or to get out of the first round.

I'm not sorry but it really isn't. Real life value is much different than CFACGM value.

I’m sure there’s ways around that that the nhl can’t get him a temporary work visa or whatever is needed

Who knows what Dubas will do, but he hasn't given up a prospect yet, so probably won't involve Minten. I also suspect that it would be Holl going out and not Kerfoot but who knows, maybe they both go out and he gets Bertuzzi+Kubalik/Vrana.

Ok,. Why in real life would Bertuzzi get around what O'Reilly did?

Just my opinion; the only player that I wouldn't mind seeing Dubas pay that much for is Chychrun bc he makes them cup favourites IMO

or saros

Fair
