The Toronto Maple Leafs have officially begun contract negotiations with free agent forward Tyler Bertuzzi, according to David Pagnotta.

It's been a year since Tyler Bertuzzi signed his one-year contract with the Maple Leafs. Now, a new report has confirmed that General Manager Brad Treiving has started to negotiate for a new deal with the forward.
Here's what Pagnotta wrote in a post on X:
"It's still very early in the process to project where this will go, but the #LeafsForever have started contract discussions with pending UFA winger Tyler Bertuzzi."

It has also been reported by AFP Analytics that the Leafs should give him a five-year, $5 million AAV deal, considering his performances and by comparing him with other players in the League, such as Gustav Nyquist, Tyler Toffoli, Nino Niederreiter, and Zach Hyman:
"While fan perception of Bertuzzi was up and down this season due to some lulls in point production, Bertuzzi was a very solid winger who made multiple core members better when they played with him. If they can get him between 5-5.5 AAV, it would be a smart signing. #LeafsForever"

The fact that negotiations have started doesn't mean that they'll reach a deal, but it's a first step.
