A settlement has been reached in Steve Moore’s lawsuit against former Vancouver Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi for his career-ending attack during an NHL game more than 10 years ago.

Oh good now can we put this to rest anytime soon?

probably not until the terms of the settlement are leaked ( or guestimated ). then the page can be turned.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

I'm kind of sad it was settled, since a trial would have been super interesting.

Hopefully the terms are leaked.

I hear that Bertuzzi hired Harvey Spector...and he never goes to trial...

 

[Seattle Totems]

It's good that Moore can finally move on. Hopefully he has enough money now to hire a caretaker for his special daily needs.

 

[D0ctorCool]

Man, I have nothing to do with this lawsuit, but it was even draining me by the end. This thing can't end soon enough.

 

[SighReally]

Apparently bertuzzi's lawyer just got an email that may throw the deal into jeopardy.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Just end this. It's been a black cloud over this organization for ten years, even though nobody from that regime except the Sedins is on the team anymore.

 

[Alflives*]

Does anyone know if the current owners of the team would be responsible to pay, if the suit said the team was partly to blame too?

 

[Verviticus]

even steve moore's lawyer knows hes not worthy of or receiving 68m in damages lol. i wonder if the terms of a settlement will ever actually be released

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

This thread is to discuss the reported settlement of the lawsuit between Steve Moore and Todd Bertuzzi. This is not the place to discuss whether you feel Bertuzzi's actions were ultimately responsible for Moore's injuries, liability for the injuries or what have you.

If you find yourself unable to abide by this, do not post in this thread. Deletions, infractions and possible thread-closure will result if this is ignored.

I think it's the NHL driving this, the settlement will be quite big IMO. The damages a court case could do for the NHL's public image could be real bad.

 

[DoubleTrouble]

If I was to guess on the settlement.. i would say around 25 million US

Are you saying that the NHL is bearing most of the settlement to avoid going to court?

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

No, but that could be the case too.

What I'm saying is that the NHL/Bertuzzi/Canucks side are the ones who are driving the settlement discussions because they don't want it to go to court.

Feel bad for Bert. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and probably one of the best power forwards in the last decade... Shame this is what most people will remember him for.

 

[Harold]

I recall that a couple of years ago, the Defendants had made some type of agreement how to allocate their respective liabilities for any settlement or judgment paid. Moore's lawyer applied and received a court order that he be given particulars of this agreement. Were the terms of that agreement ever disclosed or leaked? That would set out what percentage of any settlement the Canucks and Bertuzzi will pay.

I remember him for his abyssmal playoff performances and this settlement.

And for leaving the bench, I liked that move.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Top 6 money for a guy who was riding a career high 16 pts

Came here to say this. New owners, new GMs, new coaches, new players. Finally this can go away. I'm so beyond it now as a fan. Wish that never happened. Hope Steve got a fair settlement.

And Todd is a great guy, I hope he's gotten or can get over it. One big lapse in judgment and everything changes. I still like Todd even though it was a huge mistake to say the least.

he had one bad playoff, where he was injured.

Before that, he had 8 pts in 10 games.

 

[Johnny LaRue]

If Moore was seeking $68M, it would be safe to assume that the money he would receive in a settlement would be considerably lower. Anyway, I don't see how Bert could afford $68M.

 

[Canucker]

Really liked Bert, but he was an idiot on the ice too often...never liked Moore, and considering he is a money grubbing ***** I still don't like him. Everyone involved in this entire fiasco loses except the bottom feeding lawyers.
