NHL Insider Confirms Long-Term Goals of New Signing
Tyler Bertuzzi, a notable addition to the Leafs in the offseason, brings toughness, grit, and skill to the team. An NHL insider has revealed that both Bertuzzi and the Leafs are looking to continue their partnership for the long haul.
On SN590 Elliotte Friedman said the following:
"I am of the belief that Toronto wanted to sign Tyler Bertuzzi longer and I think Bertuzzi wanted to sign longer but they didn't have the ability to do it now. What does that mean after Jan 1st?"
Due to restrictions, Bertuzzi cannot pursue extensions until after January 1st. This explains why Friedman refers to this date as significant.
