Confirmed with Link: Binghamton Senators officially sign Todd Bertuzzi to PTO.

[Othello*]

Can't be worse then Greening

 

[Countdown0]

He'll show up in Bingo, and he'll have gone through ALL of the things that the kids will/may go through in their careers. Good and bad. They'll learn how to handle it, how to think of it. They'll learn how to conduct themselves on and off the ice, from the lessons that he learn. Its better to learn from someone else's mistake, than from your own.

Beyond that, he'll teach them how important it is to keep yourself in good shape and not slack off.

I see zero downside to this if they decide to give him a spot in Bingo, and if he forces the kids to have to work a little harder to keep their roster spots, that only helps us long term.

Agreed, good signing if not for what he can convey to the young guys

 

[Kellogs]

We just found our top 6 winger. Stanley cup here we come.

Plan the parade!

 

[Emerica]

Horrific move. Murray grasping at straws here.

Can't be serious

 

[dpw]

I wonder if the Moore settlement has anything to do with keeping bert from retiring.

 

[Upgrayedd]

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Take a roster spot from a developing prospect.

It's a PTO

 

[otown]

A new low to even consider this guy as someone who can help Bingo or the Sens. He must need the dough and the Sens are doing someone a big favour by just letting him go through the motions. I hope this is all it is!

 

[mcnorth]

I hope he kicks ass and makes a move to the big team a no-brainer and he comes here and contributes. Go Todd! We need the help!

Think greenings size with cheechoos skating and turris' hands/shot/passing.

Wouldn't he get offered more in Europe or khl than AHL? KHL goes nuts for big names even though they can't play anymore.

Unless he's gambling that he'll get an NHL gig out of this. That or he simply doesn't want to go overseas.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Horrific move. Murray grasping at straws here.

"He's a real good guy, a character guy, a real good guy."

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

As long as he stays in Bingo. He simply isn't an NHL calibre player anymore.

 

[OttawaOilers]

Go Big Bert!

hey dude, is that a legit pic of Ryan wearing a lynx hat?!

 

[Ouroboros]

This gives me fond memories of that glorious week we had Brad Isbister under contract!

 

[jbeck5]

lynx hat?

 

[Laphroaig]

Todd Bertuzzi is a *******. I hope he falls flat on his ass.

 

[Back in Black]

Horray?

Maybe if he does well in bingo and proves he can skate, he opens up the teams willingness to move Neil?

Wha???? Neil brings a spark to the Team that Bertuzzi cannot, he's way too old now.

Only Murray would bring him back to the NHL!

 

[Flamingo]

This doesn't make much sense to me, so I'm going to sit back and enjoy it.

 

[General Zodd]

10 games and he'll be up, guaranteed.

 

[Johnny Hanson]

You all know what a PTO is, right?

Reading this thread you'd think the sens announced they signed the guy to a 3 year one way contract with a NMC
