Report: Tyler Bertuzzi's Next Contract Details Have Been Revealed
This year's group of available players isn't very impressive. The most well-known players are Tyler Bertuzzi and Damon Severson, but they're not superstars.
Tyler Bertuzzi is one of the best available players who can sign with any team. He is expected to earn a lot of money.
However, one thing is clear: the best players in this group will be paid a lot. There are rumors about how much money Bertuzzi wants when he becomes a free agent.

Some people might be surprised by a price tag of $7 million for Bertuzzi. But when you consider how he plays, which is a combination of
Matthew Tkachuk and
Tom Wilson, he becomes even more valuable than just his statistics.
Last season, Bertuzzi scored 30 goals and got 62 points in 68 games. Even though he wasn't as good this season, he still got 10 points in just 7 playoff games, showing that he performs well when it matters most.
When you see what Matthew Tkachuk is doing in Florida, it's easy to understand why teams would be willing to spend a lot of money on a player like Bertuzzi, who is similar to Tkachuk but not as expensive.
