[TRADE] Islanders acquired Robert Bortuzzo for a 7th round

[wai_lai416]

prolly to cover pulock's injury? doesn't cost much and i think bortuzzi comes off the book at the end of the year anyways

[Shift-4]

Would love to have him. When he punches he means it.

i wouldn't mind him for depth on the RD.. i mean it only cost a 7th and he only cost 950k

[Rekker]

I thought he would be worth more, his game must have fallen off some

 

 

[Coconuts]

Stanley Cup champion Robert Bortuzzo

 

Blues already have Faulk and Parayko and would seemingly rather play their young D options than Bortuzzo

 

Could have asked for a trade or the Blues could just be doing him a favour, he's only played four games this season

Yip. Another epic, trade of the year thwarted. Lol. For all the Leafs haven't done, media has given Alvin the credit due for some shrewd moves.

 

[Bure_Pavel]

Good depth pickup, Islanders looking to cling to a playoff spot while dealing with injuries. Who would have guessed the metropolitan division would be the weakest so far. 

[cripplereh]

Wow low cost , not bad.

He'd be a top 4 guy in Toronto.

This makes Myers a must for the Laffs. Myers for Bertuzzi straight across.

metro the weakest?? their 2nd worse team in the division is good for 4th in the pacific lol and 6 of 8 of the team if they win their games in hand would be tied for a playoff position.. Pacific is the weakest division in the league and no division is even close.. you have the vegas and LA.. then everyone else.

Our division is the best, because we are in it. All other divisions are lesser because that’s the way it is. F the Oilers!

The 2nd highest pts % in the Metro is the Capitals at .587 with a goal differential of -14. That would place them 5th in the Atlantic, and 4th in the Central and Pacific by a good margin.

because their division is actually competitive and they are beating the crap out of each other?? if they are the weakest division in the league.. then what does that make us?? we are 1-3 or 2-3 haven't checked the records but it's definitely a losing one against the weakest division in the league?

Caps are -15 goals. They are a puck sucker team in a puck sucker division. The Csnes are pick suckers who will be firing g BrindaLESS before Christmas.

Bortuzzo has had a long career but his max cap hit was only $1.375M.  He has made a little over $11M over 14 seasons.

Once they figure out that  makes them look like a dumb ass, they'll "prolly" stop. 

[Elias Pettersson]

Bortuzzo is a 7/8 guy these days.  But he's Italian so he would have fit in Vancouver...
