In a heartbreaking trade for the Detroit faithful, Red Wings fans have seen Tyler Bertuzzi play for the likes of the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bertuzzi was a nice addition for both franchises, helping bolster their offensive fire power and contributing to both teams in the post season, but rumours are circulating about the potential future of Bertuzzi. Could he now be coming back home to his original team in Detroit?
Although the task would not be easy for Steve Yzerman, having a heart and soul player like Tyler Bertuzzi back on the Red Wings could give them much needed leadership and offensive fire power they lacked towards the end of the 2024 regular season. Due to his strong performances in Boston and Toronto, Bertuzzi will likely be seeking a lucrative pad day and would require a 3-4 year deal valued at $6 million per year AAV. Can Steve Yzerman bring Bertuzzi back home?
