BREAKING: Why Bertuzzi Decided To Sign With The Bruins Rival

Tyler Bertuzzi's representative, Todd Reynolds, recently disclosed to ESPN that their initial objective in free agency was to secure a lengthy contract.

However, despite receiving offers, none of the competitive teams were willing to meet their desired average annual value (AAV) of $5.5 million.

As a result, they adapted their approach and instead chose a one-year agreement with a contending team, taking into account the projected salary cap surge next year.

This choice signifies their belief in Bertuzzi's skills and their expectation of a more financially rewarding prospect down the line.
