Totaly agree with you muckies. I don't think any one will give up too much for him. Sorry Florida I think you are stuck with him

Bertuzzi in Vancouver was a completly different animal than what he is now. He was maybe one of the top 5 players in the NHL before Steve Moore. Now nobody is a Bertuzzi fan, nobody is buying his jersey or going to the rink to see him play.

I liked Bertuzii beofre the Moore deal, now I hate him

Bertuzzi was a big draw in Vancouver... I think more people have Bertuzzi jerseys than any other player. And one injury, although quite serious, does not make him injury prone.

Personally I think they should trade him, then see if they can resign him in the summer if they want him. But to say he can't sell tickets or help them win is folly

I think the Panthers get a 1st round choice from Vancouver if they do not re-sign Bertuzzi, unless a team offers that much for him at the deadline, he'll be in Florida and sign somehwere else.

Bertuzzi has no loyalty to the Panthers, he was Keenan's guy. Bertuzzi isn't a Martin type of player. I think Martin would rather spend his money on a player like Drury, Brewer, Zetterberg or Rivet. Good team guys. Rebuild from the net out.

The last thing the Panthers need is an injury prone loser like Bertuzii. they need somebosy that can seel tickets, provide leadership and help them win. Bertuzzi doesn't help in any of theose categories.
