The Toronto Maple Leafs have arguably made the splash of the offseason so far, securing top free agent Tyler Bertuzzi to a one-year, $5.5 million contract.
Bertuzzi registered 30 points in 50 games last season, split between the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins. The 28-year-old had his best season in 2021-22, scoring 30 goals and accumulating 62 points in 68 games.
The contract includes a no-movement clause and a maximum signing bonus of $4.725 million, with the salary coming in at $775,000, according to PuckPedia.
Bertuzzi joins a group of Toronto newcomers that includes bruising forward Ryan Reaves and offensive defenceman John Klingberg.
