by jaxsun_12 on Monday, June 26, 2006 I got into a pushing match with a complete stranger in his own house when he told me the nucks picked up Luongo for Bertuzzi and Auld. Couldn't believe it, then I passed out, they took my money and I went home.

by ticklemysloth on Monday, June 26, 2006 I've gotta disagree with you on this one. I don't think Bertuzzi will have a good year at all. He played well with the Canucks when they had that decent playoff run, but last year just wasn't a good year for the Canucks... Now Bert's getting traded to an even worse team. Look at Dany Heatley, he returned from an INJURY and played for a garbage team and did decent, then he fully recovered the next season and played for arguably the best team in the show... I just don't think you can compare Bertuzzi's situation to Heatley's.
by Kerrzy on Monday, June 26, 2006 If Ottawa didn't have Heatley, and didn't have him working on a line with Spezza they wouldn't have been as good. Heatley coming to Ottawa MADE THEM a real threat to win the cup, especially with the way he played. If Bertuzzi can come onto Florida's top line and play like he did when he had huge numbers, it'll be comparable to the Heatley situation.

by Gretzky on Saturday, June 24, 2006 i dont think bertuzzi will shine in florida personally. he doenst really have someon to work with. he has jokinen who is wicked good but they are sorta the same (big physical goal scorers) and i don think they could work on the same line. but getting out of vancouver could do wonders for tuzzi. specially goin to a place as paradise-like as florida. |

Todd Bertuzzi and Roberto Luongo were two of the most talked about tradeable players for some time now, and as of Friday night, the two have swapped teams in the first big trade of the NHL off-season.
Bertuzzi, along with Bryan Allen and goaltender Alex Auld became members of the Florida Panthers Friday night in exchange for goalie Roberto Luongo and defenseman Lukas Krajicek.
Now, the question is: will Todd Bertuzzi have the type of season that Dany Heatley had after his move from Atlanta and regain his form of the pre-Steve Moore era?
I think so.
When Dany Heatley got out of Atlanta after his big car accident, he ripped it up in Ottawa. Todd Bertuzzi is a good player, and moving from somewhere like Vancouver to a place like Florida gives him nothing but opportunity to turn his game around and get himself back into a position where is he is considered one of the elite players in the league.
