NHL insider Darren Dreger reported this evening that the Toronto Maple Leafs have failed to come to a contract agreement with Tyler Bertuzzi.

As a result, the winger will be heading to the open market as it opens tomorrow at noon eastern time. Dreger is reporting that the forward is expected to sign a deal around 4 years long with a cap hit more than 5 million dollars per season.
Tyler Bertuzzi won't be returning to the Maple Leafs. His value has out priced Toronto. He will land a deal elsewhere in the 4 year and over $5 mil per territory.
We can assume that his cap hit will likely be under 6 million but more than 5 considering the way Dreger is reporting this news. Either way, this deal was too rich for Brad Treliving's blood, which makes sense considering how much money the team has locked up in their top four forwards.
BREAKING: Maple Leafs forward Tyler Bertuzzi will 𝐍𝐎𝐓 return next season. ❌

His next contract will simply be too much for the Leafs to pay.

Thank you Bert! 💙🙏

#LeafsForever
Bertuzzi had 21 goals and 43 points for the Leafs this season. Replacing that production will be difficult, but hopefully for the team's sake, they can find someone to replace him on a more team-friendly deal. Be sure to stay tuned over the coming weeks to see what the team does.
