Devellano says Wings close to signing Bertuzzi

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

The dude had 44 points last year! Thats just about 10 short of Hudler! Except unlike Hudler, Bert isn't gonna be making 3.5 mil and isn't gonna get run over by every other player in the league.

He also played 16 fewer games (although that speaks as much to his injury woes), but he played on average 4 more ES minutes per night, and on the top two lines, and another minute extra on the PP.

EDIT: In terms of total minutes played Bert had the equivalent of 5-6 more games under his belt but fewer points with superior linemates, is the conclusion.

This just from Darren Dreger on Twitter:

he's also like a foot taller and hundred pounds heavier (though hudler's head is probably bigger)! that sounds good to me.

According to TSN, Bertuzzi has been signed. I'm closing this thread.
