Maple Leafs Rumors: 3 Offseason Suitors for Tyler Bertuzzi
Tyler Bertuzzi is a notable pending UFA from this year's free agency class. The Toronto Maple Leafs will likely look to get him re-signed, but if they can't come to terms on a new deal before the start of free agency, he will get a ton of interest on the market. Let's go over three clubs that would likely target him in that scenario now.
Calgary Flames: The Calgary Flames are likely going to look to add to their forward group this offseason. While they traded multiple notable players before the deadline, their goal is to be competitive and not rebuild. Thus, they could look to add a player like Bertuzzi, as he would give their top six a big boost.
New York Rangers: The New York Rangers are going to look to add a top-six winger to their roster this offseason. Bringing in a player like Bertuzzi could be on their wish list because of it. He would not only give them more offense and skill but also provide them with more grit if signed.
Carolina Hurricanes: If the Carolina Hurricanes end up losing some of their pending UFA forwards, a player like Bertuzzi could make sense for them. The Hurricanes love skilled players who play a gritty game, so he could be a marvelous fit on their roster if signed.
