Will Tyler Bertuzzi be back with the Leafs next year? | OverDrive Hour 3 | 06-03-24

Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Jamie McLennan chat with TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston about Connor McDavid’s mindset heading into his first Stanley Cup Final as well as whether Tyler Bertuzzi will re-sign with the Leafs, catch up with NBC Golf Analyst Brad Faxon to discuss Robert MacIntyre’s first PGA Tour win at the RBC Canadian Open, share their best bets ahead of the Jays series opener with the Orioles, and much more.

does Bertuzzi ever win those battles on the boards no! Sure he was good in front 5.5 mill no way

[@Spike10111]

Since Marner is coming back, Leafs have no money for Bertuzzi and Domi. They need to prioritize getting a 2C, and two top 4 D. Bertuzzi and Domi are luxuries on this roster. If any money is left on July 2nd you give Domi another 1 x 3 contract to play him with Matthews.

[@ChrisTempleMusic]

Marner is gone !

[@DharmYogi]

He is still signed for at least a year. There has been no trade discussions

[@Leafgreen1976]

@@ChrisTempleMusic With Marners nmc they have to get him to waive which I don't think is likely.

[@MisterMister5893]

Marner was here last year and so were Bert and Domi. The only tricky piece is Domi who wants a raise from his 3M. It can still be done with the cap rising.

[@johnsummerhill8323]

Bertuzzi was only good for about 20 games. Domi was a bit better.

[@thefozzybear]

Bertuzzi will be back In Toronto to play against the Leafs.

[@henryjaremek2644]

.... I sure hope Bertuzzi is NOT back !!!!.. He is a Terrible Skater .. No Puck Handling Skills .. No Hand Eye Coordination .. Poor Passing Skills .. .. He's just an OverPriced .. " Garbage Man " .. in front of the Net . .. IF Tyler Bertuzzi was just 1 Million a year I'd ONLY play him on the 4th Line .. based on his ability. BUT .. I'd rather play a Prospect in his place instead . Possibly .. Minten or Cowan .. etc..etc ..

[@mrzedlyt]

oh please gawd NOOOO! Bertuzzi

[@MDVandenberg-n6v]

BERT don’t stiff us for goal not achieved!!!

[@Mitchell_E_Underscore]

Less than a quarter of NHL teams are Canadian. Since the cap came in, a Canadian has been in the final 5 out of 19 seasons (more than a quarter of the seasons). Once you get to the finals, you can't blame the cap or no-tax-states on losing. It's been a while since a Canadian team won it all, but they've knocked on the door plenty of times. There are disadvantages and challenges for Canadian markets, but the Canadian teams have been performing fine when you look at the big picture.

[@dangraesser5341]

It's delusional that they thought and still think that Ohtani thought for one second about going to Toronto. There is zero chance he ever considered signing there!

[@danielmaloney946]

Isaid that during the "Ohtani sweepstakes". It shows Toronto media will use any lie they can to hype up the Jays.

[@MisterMister5893]

Why's that? Toronto is a bottomless pit of money and if you have money, it can be a very good life in this city. Drake, Bieber, all have homes here. He doesn't need to be here 12 month of the year. It's all about getting paid and from what was said, Toronto was willing to outbid everyone.

Isn’t a great player

[@josephfitzgard6277]

Rumors are that Mitch Marner will play next year. Potentially no resigning July 1. If the Leafs don't want him to play and don't want his salary effecting the salary cap, can the Leafs send Marner down to the Marles? Or will the not work to keep his salary off the cap?

[@Lazr891]

Nobody outside nocupronto gives a flying fuck what the leafs do in the off seaseon LMAO

[@bluetocop]

sorry CANUCKIES Florida in 5 referees will pout the whistles away and beat up Oilers

[@duncanmac2195]

Bert is 30 and in clear decline. If they resign him it's a continuation of the same inept mismanagement and means no cup. It's another stupid anchor contract.

[@James-nv1wf]

Of course Edmonton will go all the way.. another former leaf has to win the cup.

[@duncanmac2195]

This team isnt a Bertuzzi away from a cup.

[@steverobinson1353]

If he wants to win a cup then no. Lol

[@stug5041]

Bertuzzi went to market last year believing a monster deal was out there and it wasn’t. Amazing that he’d be trying this again after a meh season - he should fire his delusional representation - clearly getting bad advice

[@elisabarbuto4709]

Let’s see if McDavid can be a newer version of Wayne Gretzky! And then try winning over and over, 4x if I’m not mistaken. Yes, I understand that there are more teams nowadays. However, in the end, there are 2 teams vying for the Cup!

[@SharonKirk-z7d]

I sure hope so!

[@davidfoster3427]

sure he can come back on another 1 yr deal at 2.5 million. He did nothing to justify an extension or a raise.

[@Stenuarts5287]

Whats the headline read? Am I blind? Bertuzzi....

[@mikechar17]

15:30 the fans are the only thing that matters.

[@chadwickbarry8371]

Joe Thornton is your daddy CJ. 🪒

[@WW3_Soon]

Bertuzzi at age 30 wants big money with term and Treliving will overpay to retain him.

[@johncOU812]

Saying the Canadian teams have less stress winning because of passionate fan bases is the stupidest comment I’ve heard!

[@ChrisTempleMusic]

Waiting to play Til Saturday is an absolute joke !

[@MisterMister5893]

calm down

[@DharmYogi]

Edmonton wins if skinner plays well else Florida wins. It’s all on skinner. He is a terrible goaltender and really weak mentally. His interview after the series on ram clearly shows he is not strong mentally. Very much like samsonov

[@MisterMister5893]

ram?

[@TheBigfootsfeet]

Damn, bait used to be good

[@danielmaloney946]

Nothing wrong with waiting a week for finals - it is the FINALS. These guys can wait 9 years for Shanaplan, or 99 years, but wait a week for the finals and its just out of the question.

[@bluetocop]

HEH i dont like in the play offs let the guys play thinking. I would like one standard play offs and season

[@bluetocop]

how does one get to be A HOCKEY INSIDER haven never played beyond house league pee wee and you got two previous long term ex NHLERS What are these just bums

[@JPV-j8m]

I’ll love every minute of watching Marner tank this loser team next year , and honestly it’s already sooooo pathetic this media support like shit get over it Canada sucks now in so many ways when I was kid this hole network was a thousand times better and yes the Leafs sucked back then too ! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Leafgreen1976]

Here you are watching though.

[@MisterMister5893]

Have you thought this through? What GM in their right mind sign a player who maliciously tanked their team by throwing a tantrum? Marner doesn't benefit from having a bad season. It's in both their interest to have stellar years but especially for Mitch. He guarantees a big contract whether it's here or else where. Please think before you start smacking the keyboard in the future.

[@bruceh92]

You enjoy pain and suffering then. OK, move along.

[@JPV-j8m]

@@MisterMister5893 hey man I’d never go around saying that Marner isn’t a strong athlete but the thing that makes this so enjoyable for me is there is absolutely no way it can be denied that he’s one of the softest players in the league physically it’s clearly impossible for him to shift into playoff mode he’s physically really small when ya look at him he’s completely shown the world he has zero intentions on playing physical hockey I can guarantee you that Toronto will absolutely crash and burn this up coming year this club is soooooo pathetic
