Bertuzzi scored in streaks for the Leafs but ended the season with 21G - 22A in 80 regular season games. He averaged 16:00 TOI, deployed at even strength and the power-play. Five of Bertuzzi's goals came on the power-play. In the playoff series versus Boston he contributed 1G-3A.
Bertuzzi brings some grit and determination. It's very rare to see him shy away from battling along the wall to extend a play or around an opponents crease creating a distraction and hounding pucks. His production, in relation to his $5.5M salary is debatable in terms of return on investment. He's a pending UFA. If Toronto is where he would like to play in the future, it's difficult to imagine a raise in salary if he is looking for term.
