from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
2018-19 outlook: Bertuzzi made an impact as a rookie, improving steadily and gaining confidence after joining the team full-time in late December. He brings a much-needed element of grit with his physicality and eagerness to go to the net and battle in the corners. He was a good complement on a line with skilled players Henrik Zetterberg and Gustav Nyquist for part of the season.
After dealing with injuries the previous two off-seasons, Bertuzzi was looking forward to a healthy summer of training. The Red Wings opted not to send him back to Grand Rapids for the AHL playoffs.
