Nick Kypreos drops bombshell theory on Tyler Bertuzzi's future as a Maple Leaf
The Toronto Maple Leafs fans were hyped when Brad Treliving signed the forward Tyler Bertuzzi to a one-year contract last summer.
Everyone thought he'd be a great addition to the team, but unfortunately, his contributions have been a bit underwhelming for now. The 28-year-old forward scored 21 points, including six goals in 50 games this season.
With only a few months left to his $5,500,000 contract, questions about his future in the organization are raising.
Analyst Nick Kypreos Makes Major Statement on Tyler Bertuzzi's Future With the Toronto Maple Leafs
In a recent episode of the Empty Netters podcast, Kypreos mentionned that the Maple Leafs' left wingers are underwhelming, including Tyler Bertuzzi.
According to him, he could be a part of a bigger deal at the deadline for the Leafs.
If Treliving believes he'll lose Bertuzzi in the summer, trading him now would make sense.
However, he's not in a situation where he can ask for a big raise at the end of the season. If he agrees on a low salary, he could stay with the Leafs.
Brad Treliving will need to make a decision. If he can get someone better by including Bertuzzi in a package, he should do it.
The deadline is in less than a month and Leafs fans hope that Treliving does the right thing.
