Tyler Bertuzzi Trade ideas:

Detroit Trades:
Bertuzzi

LA Trades:
One of Byfield, Turcotte or Vilardi

(Respectively would have adds on either side based on the centres available )

Detroit Trades:
Bertuzzi

Toronto Trades:
Sandin + (picks)

Detroit Trades:
Bertuzzi ( Probably adds something here)

Montreal trades:
Romanov, Poehling, Primeau

Or

Kotkankemi , Primeau + pick

Detroit Trades:
Bertuzzi

Calgary Trades:
Zary + (Not sure of Zary's value so added a + here )


Detroit Trades:
Bertuzzi +

Winnipeg Trades:
Perfetti

Mostly looking to target a trade with Bertuzzi for young Centre or Defense prospects. Let me know if you have any other fits who may be moving one of those prospects or interested in Bertuzzi. Not actively shopping him but just curious on the prospects/picks he could bring in a deal.

Winnipeg isn't moving Perfetti for Bertuzzi.

Montreal has added toffoli and Hoffman in back to back off seasons for nothing. I doubt they would be interested in giving up a chunk of their prospect pool for bertuzzi who really doesn’t do any more then either of them.

I think your over valuing Bertuzzi., I know you said adds here and there, but he's not the type that gets the Kings thinking of trading Byfield. As for my team, No. he's not what the Habs need, and taking those guys out, creates other holes.

I think he's a good player, jus, nothing there seems like a fit.

He would be a good fit on the leafs though.

I think you're overvaluing Bertuzzi. He's not bad but he's not worth a top prospect. At any rate Calgary doesn't need another LW, they have too many now, what the Flames really need is a top 6 right shot RW and possibly a top 4 LD.

Whatever Dvorak gets is probably what Bertuzzi gets or similar in that sense. Something along the lines of a 1st + a B level prospect. Not team’s best prospect, expecting any of those C from LA, KK/ Romanov+ or Sandin is crazy.

I think that Bertuzzi’s a better player than Mantha - however, I feel like GMs would rather Mantha over Bertuzzi in general, so I think Bertuzzi’s value is slightly less than Manthas.

Mantha got Vrana, Panik, 1st, 2nd which was a fleecejob in itself. Panik was waived earlier in the season and came in at a full 2.5x3 so he was a complete cap dump, while Vrana was an undervalued piece in Washington whod have no place when Mantha came in - those two don’t cancel each other out, Vranas got much more positive value than Panik has negative, but I’m also saying that Mantha>Bert in NHL GM’s eyes, so taking that into consideration, I’d say:

1st, 2nd, 30ish point player (Sam Steel type, average kind of young guy) is probably fair value for Bertuzzi. Instead of taking back Vrana and Panik, you’d get a middling young piece like a Sam Steel type whos struggled but is still young and can play third line ish minutes.

Just from the financial point of view as good as Bertuzzi is the Jets don't need to have to pay him big money in a couple of years when they have control over Perfetti, who may turn out to be a superior player, much longer.

Thank you everyone, I know I went after some big targets here. Honestly was not certain of the league’s value of what it would take to acquire. I recall many teams sniffing around trying to see if he’s available especially if they lost out on Hyman.

So with higher bidders, higher price. Maybe not as high as proposed but that’s why I suggested adds.

I’m also not to familiar with those particular teams needs that I shared. I was just picking teams that had C and D prospects we would be interested in.

Does anyone have an idea of a Bertuzzi for the best Centre/ Defense prospect a team is willing to give up? (Not necessarily in the tier prospects I mentioned but similar positions)

Based on the comments here, it sounds like Winnipeg, Calgary and Montreal wouldn’t have much interest. Not sure if any of them have any other Centres/ Defense prospects they might consider offering in the ones I shared’s place.

As for LA: they have 3 good young Centres and we’re looking for winger depth. My guess is Villardi is the odd man out of those 3. So I think he would be a reasonable target with adds as needed to make it work.

Toronto was asking for Bertuzzi and my thoughts were only Sandin/ Lilijgren are the two prospects we would likely aim for based on need. Plus their picks aren’t that high. Not sure which of those two D have less value but once again that was a starting point for conversation.

Bertuzzi is a good player, but none of these proposals seem very realistic. An easy no from everyone.

You don’t think Bertuzzi can get Vilardi, Sandin or Zary?

@Ebsolutely Not Zary, though the Flames could certainly use Bertuzzi's grit, what they really need is a right shot RW, not another left shot LW.

Unless Gaudreau goes, then there just might be room for Bertuzzi but even then they'd still have Tkachuk and Mangiapane for the top 2 lines.

Blake Coleman will likely wind up playing RW on one of the top lines. If the Flames can find another RW good enough to play in the top 6 then both Tkachuk and Mangiapane can go back to where they belong at LW.

I think I asked for too many prospects here or ones that are very untouchable. Goal here was not to over value Bertuzzi but to see what kinds of pieces would be involved. Trade rumours have died down on him recently but wouldn’t surprise if picked up again at deadline or next offseason.

Are there any Centre or Defense prospects (Centres preferred) available that you would send for Bertuzzi? Looking for a key piece to be a good prospect rather than a what if pick.

@Datsyuk_Fan13 If Bertuzzi was a right shot RW Calgary would be very interested.

Ya never know though, they still might be interested in him as part of a package for Monahan or Gaudreau.

He might not be a player Calgary needs but he definitely gets Zary and more in a trade.

@Moxnix,

That makes sense now understanding Calgary’s needs but from a Detroit perspective we would want picks/ prospects. So if Flames move Gaudreau or Monahan elsewhere, they can circle back to us to make a pick/ prospect deal for Bertuzzi.

We just wouldn’t be thrilled with the most likely point of adding to Bertuzzi to get either Gaudreau or Monahan.
