[@teeganreed7989]

Love Bertuzzi and TT in Chicago!! We got Big Rig and Broissoit too!! So pumped for the Hawks!!!

[@1313skr]

Meh, was hoping for more out of him last year. But on a rebuilding Chicago he'll certainly have better opportunities, best of luck to him.

[@ginor8416]

He was great and decent in the playoffs too. Meanwhile that boat anchor Marner sucks up so much cap and ghosts his way through the postseason. What a loss

[@stevendchu]

@@ginor8416 "great" come off it he went like two whole months without a goal. His only goal in the playoffs came from Rielly shooting it in off his skates. Granted Keefe should've put him on PP1 instead of Tavares, but for a guy who was on the first line for every game 1 goal is really dissapointing.

[@sidneyrobinson9186]

good for Bertuzzi going to a young team original 6 Franchise that WANTS to win and play on a team with Bedard

[@errolrohrbach6013]

Connor bedard and nothing is crazy, they have one of if not the best young cores in all of hockey, they’ve had a ton of first round picks rounding out the lineup, they will be dangerous very soon

[@jtwilliams8895]

I hope so. But by soon, that means 3 or 4 years for these guys to develop. That’s the trouble with drafting 18 year olds. And many can bust.

[@HighCharityYT]

correction - Chicago let Teuvo go because they wanted to get out of the last year of Bickell's 4x4 contract, which he got entirely for his playoff production (i can't remember if the team knew of the MS diagnosis, but probably not, since if he had the medical diagnosis they might not have needed to dump the deal, they could let insurance handle it). Teuvo was the piece to get them to take the whole thing

[@Hikarii349]

And now we have Tuevo again :)

[@captaincurt396]

They did not know about it before had. But agree that he was paid entirely off that 2013 run

[@dominicpardo4783]

Tuevo was added as a sweetener in the Bickell deal. They would have loved to have kept him.

[@rickyma3189]

I wasn't convince when he signed with The Leafs last off season, but I'm convinced now that he signed with the Blackhawks that he is trying to play for every Original 6 franchise in his career. He only needs the Habs and Rangers.

[@iainmore3961]

Oh well I am happy we got Domi. I think it is too much money for Bertuzzi. I expect the Blackhawks will flip him in the future.

[@danchesney631]

Bert showed up out of shape last year. He wouldn't have survived Berube's training camp.

the hawks had to part w/ teuvo initially because he was the sweetener that carolina insisted be included in a (cap dump) trade for taking b.bickell's contract off of the hawks.

[@wihamaki]

Bertuzzi, 9th on team for pts/60 regular season, 6th in playoffs. 20ths on team for hits/60, 9th in playoffs. The guy is a bottom-6 player, maybe he'll hit top-6 standing on someone's coat-tails.

[@peterpeterson5550]

The 1st ... It"s not always about the points 2nd ... it's about the style of play of specific player and what certain team need so ... cry more 3rd .... Bertuzzi is a bottom 6 forward? why he played with Mathews then, you genius

[@3flavourscornetto237]

horrible takes bro just looked through ur other comments, ur so far gone

[@anthonylarson7919]

every team gave Bertuzzi away. He is an AHL er if he had a different name. He falls way too often, stupid penalties, can't be coached. He went behind the net in game 7 on the clinching goal, and loafed to the bench for Marner to come on and watch Pasta score. Behind the net in game 7 ...and he is in the NHL wtf

[@3flavourscornetto237]

@@anthonylarson7919 bro is a 30 goal scorer and the only reason hes not on every contending team is because he knows his value and wants to cash in not go to a contender and take less, do u understand the sport at all or are u just some sour old man

I'm sad we couldn't work something out, but i think he'll be a great fit in Chicago. Best of luck to him!

[@jesserae87]

Bertuzzi and bedard together thats huge

[@domipeca1288]

Really happy with these two deals! Lets go Hawks!

[@lukenlegacy]

For the record, Teuvo got traded with Bryan Bickell because we couldn’t move off the 4x4 overpriced Bickell contract right before he got diagnosed. He was our blue chip that was our sacrificial lamb to make space. Glad to have him back and Bert too!!

[@bloodwillrunthestreets5205]

Glad to see him moving on. Nice move Treliving.

[@Veopoz]

Good for Bert

[@jefffreese947]

Just to clarify, but the Hawks had to use TT as the sweetener so CAR would take the Bickell contract before they knew that Bickell had MS.

[@williamrichie2636]

Alex Vlasic was one of the best defensemen in the league last year

[@rone7982]

[@mst3k54]

But paying 34yo Taney until he’s 40yo is better?

[@__ink__]

Bertuzzi gone?! This is dumb 😵‍💫

[@craigharrison5406]

Why ? he's the most inconsistent player in the league.

[@__ink__]

@@craigharrison5406 hi 👋, he was the only proper screen and when coached right (let the players cook/ Keefe never understood this. E.g. the line with Bert, Mathews and Domi was a right click and even with Willy it started to work) Bert is a good player in the reg. season but amps up to be a menace at the Playoffs. They just needed to find the right price/ yrs construction but always seam to be impatient and Leafy. Stats are one thing, a tenacious team mentality (Panthers have showed it, Vegas had it too) can’t be bought “as is”. I also agree with Steve that it’s not healthy to pay well over 50% of your (new) cap to 4 forwards. No winning team does that. But we’ll see. Do you play hockey?

[@craigharrison5406]

@@__ink__ And he's still inconsistent. It shouldn't take a player half a season to get going. That's not just a "slow starter" like people were saying.

[@vipeholmskolan6052]

[@skyborne80]

They forgot to mention Ilya Mikheyev likes soup!

[@mikeporten8174]

[@juvialockser9912]

He will have his regular spot in Chicago and much more space to improve his game. I wish him good luck and no points against Leafs ;)

[@michaelharrison5725]

Good news, now you can afford the 8x 13 million extension for Marner when he scores 100 points in the regular season and 0 points in the playoffs 😂

[@jeffwyatt7199]

The leafs will be lucky to make the playoffs this year. Teams in the east are vastly improved. We havent so far. Its sad. Everyone thinks the leafs D was the big issue last year. This group cant score in the playoffs.

[@Sundagar]

so who's going from the leafs with the recent signings, no way the cap can hold much more

[@RobbieG17]

with the 1.5M they have left, they'll probably try to sign Dewar to something short-term.

[@johnsummerhill8323]

They can go over the cap by 10 percent as long as it is sorted out by opening night in October.

[@ginor8416]

I’m so pissed! We could have had him for $5.5M?!! He was an absolute powerhouse for us. He made Marner look like 12 year old
