Confirmed with Link: Wings Sign Tyler Bertuzzi to 3 year entry level contract

[Inspiration]

The wings need a player like him badly. I sure hope he develops well. Honestly I just want the wings to have a big strong guy that could shove Shea Weber's head into the glass over and over.

Tyler Bertuzzi isn't that guy.

Wouldn't say it was a bad choice when they drafted him. It was a questionable choice. I was fairly skeptical but gotta love that progress

Having skimmed the title, I read it as, "Wings sign Bertuzzi to 3 year contract." Boy, you should have seen my face when I assumed it was Todd!

Isn't it his nephew or something?

It was a reach by rankings, but the Wings were playing a hunch he'd get snagged before they picked next, so they got the guy they wanted.

Yes, his nephew.

I thought reports out of WMU is that he is making progress year by year. No one expects him to be the next Shanny, but I still think it's possible for him to become a competent fourth liner.

Has he changed permanently to forward? not playing D anymore?
