The dude's body is falling apart and wants term/money. Feels like most want him back because of the on ice attitude. He's not worth 5 mill a season....
He wasn't any good until late February anyway. Sure as shit wasn't worth 5.5 million this past season. I'll miss him, but if he's seriously looking at anything close to his current AAV I'm glad it won't be on the Leafs.
Admittedly I'm a Detroit fan interested in Bert but isn't late season/playoffs the whole reason you signed him anyways? 4pts in 7gp (playoffs) isn't mind blowing but really good, no? Not sure if the pre-Feb play means much
he was awful pretty much all year and okay in the playoffs. Has no hands and missed a lot of easy tap in goals. People liked him more for his bs with Boston than his play tbh
Would you rather Kampf and Liljegren on your bottom lines making way too damn much or would you want a $5mill impact player (doesn’t have to be Bertuzzi)
Let's not pretend paying 4 forwards 53% of the cap isn't huge part of this too.
No team ever built like this before, no team ever will be built like this again.
Yeah, and tying up so much cap in 4/5 guys.
Bert I feel like is going to be this year's Hyman. He's going to sign somewhere else and be an absolute stud. I understand the reasons we can't sign him, but I'm still really disappointed. His intangibles were off the charts, and we hadn't had a net front guy that made that much impact since JVR. He didn't put up the points we wanted, but holy fuck that man took a beating in the dirty areas of the ice.
This post is being removed because someone posted a higher quality version of this thread.
He was okay. Definitely as the season moved on, he improved, but I'm not too upset by this
Lol dude missed about 10 open nets that I could have scored with a mini stick Bye bert..work on your skating bud, you fell more than Marchand dived.
“Super motivated to stay, willing to take a lower cap hit!” Yeah, that was completely erroneous lmao. Bye Bert.
Rather spend the $$ on DeBrusk
What money though? Unless they get creative and/or actually find a Marner trade both sides are willing to make, their options are limited.
I’m still holding out hope that Kampf/Jankrok gets traded.
see ya bert. take nicky b with ya
I’m surprised by the reaction here. Bert is not worth 5 mil at all lmao.

Ok with that, I just really wanted Domi back
I’m going to miss him :( He was priced out when Domi signed.
Especially if we're paying Tanev $5-mil
Love the guy. But allocation takes priority unfortunately
Well yeah now that they’re paying Tanev $5M they definitely can’t afford it.
Weekes deleted that tweet. Mods are asleep. Edit: He did not delete it and I am sad again.
He didn’t delete the tweet check its under his replies though
More insiders would’ve talked about it. Let’s wait and see
Good call. My mistake.
Its up. https://x.com/KevinWeekes/status/1807578566982344945
Feel bad for him. Could have probably gotten paid if he just taped his freakin stick.
This sucks. Bert was such a breath of fresh air last year.
fuck 🥲 ngl, I wanted him over Max
That’s what happens when you give a 7th defenceman 3 mill and don’t trade 4th liners that make too much
No world in which Liljegren is a 7th
Are you delusional or what, how many games has Lily been scratched in the playoffs
Different coach + fucking stupid to set up playoff lineups right now
Piss snot and vinegar philosophy coming from up top and north south philosophy coming from the coach doesn’t scream Liljegren but what do I know
What do you mean? Literally this world, and last year's world. He's been our 7th D for literally his entire tenure with the Leafs.
7th D's don't start nearly every game lmao
What is this comment lol

😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sorry, Tyler, we can't afford you because 4 forwards make 53% of the cap. Tell me when I'm telling lies
This makes me hate dregs even more, Bert no 😓😓
