    Breaking News: Unbelievable the Detroit Red Wings called assistance to their…

    I still recall discovering Tyler Bertuzzi had been moved to the Boston Bruins when I first heard the news and looked through social media. Seeing the Red Wings go on a losing run was a stomach hit that forced general manager Steve Yzerman to sell around the trade deadline. For my wife, Bertuzzi remains her all-time favourite player. She was inconsolable. It was difficult to watch him go, but then videos and photos of him playing with his new squad and wearing a Bruins shirt started to surface.

    The fact that he wasn’t moved to the Pittsburgh Penguins or any other team I detest gave me some comfort. He had a decent chance of winning the Stanley Cup and was, at the absolute least, traded to the team that had the most wins in a regular season ever. Bertuzzi was scoring points while playing in the top six. But the Bruins lost badly, blowing a 3-1 series lead over the Florida Panthers in the opening round.

    After his stint with the Boston Bruins, there was a glimmer of hope that Bertuzzi might return to the Wings. Perhaps Yzerman was intended to be a real rental, acquired in exchange for a first-round pick and then signed back by the franchise. That was not to be, as additional negative news surfaced from a social media post announcing Bertuzzi’s one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. I couldn’t understand this. I’ve heard that he was looking for a longer-term contract than what was offered to him, which is why things didn’t work out in Detroit.

    Bertuzzi started the Toronto season slowly but picked up the pace and began to blend in as the season progressed. As the Leafs prepared for another postseason run, he saw some lineup changes but still had a respectable season. Nobody was surprised—aside from Toronto supporters—that the Maple Leafs were out of the playoffs after losing in the first round once more. Bertuzzi is currently searching for a new deal as he is once again a free agent.

    Who the Red Wings need to sign and who they need to cut this summer have been hot topics of conversation. The Wings have been lacking Bertuzzi’s presence in front of the net in both power play and full strength situations, so they need to find a way to get him back. He doesn’t mind taking a pounding when he ventures into the dangerous zones near the crease. Then he’s there to put the puck in the back of the net after grabbing a delicious rebound from a shot.

    He is also skilled at blocking the goalie’s view by driving in front of him, allowing a shot to pass unnoticed. Without him in the lineup, I don’t think the Wings have had enough net front traffic. Several times during a power play, there was nobody in front of the goalie, making it easy to stop every shot. Countless times this season, when a puck was sitting by the crease and washed away by the opposing team, my wife would have exclaimed, “If Bertuzzi was here, that would have been in the net!”

    I also adore the edge he provides to the puck game when he plays. Bertuzzi has a talent for playing under the other team’s skin and occasionally succeeds in tricking a rival into going to the penalty area. Although he’s not quite up to Brad Marchand’s level in this regard, he could certainly rise to it with some effort. He would also be a lot less obnoxious. The Wings really don’t have a strong initiator in the lineup, so this is another area where they may use some assistance coming up in 2019.

    Bertuzzi finished the season with 21 goals and 22 assists, which is respectable for a loaded club like the Leafs, according to his numbers on NHL Edge Advanced Statistics. Nineteen of the twenty-one goals he has scored this season have come from the closest slot area or the crease. This is statistical evidence of his capacity to complete tasks in the online space. Bertuzzi could potentially score 30 goals in Detroit and would likely have a larger role with the Red Wings than he would with Toronto.

    Bertuzzi is undoubtedly attracting attention from the league at the moment, so Yzerman needs to seize the chance and get to work bringing this about. His kind of rugged net front player will probably not be around for too long once free agency begins this summer. He’s the kind of player the Red Wings could truly use, and perhaps now he would settle for a shorter contract than he had earlier requested. All we can do is wait and watch how things work out.
