Quick Hits: The Deadline Eve Edition

In Red Wings Land

New dad Tyler Bertuzzi dismisses trade talk, committed to Red Wings – MLive

“I guess those guys (media) have a job to do,” he said. “A lot of them are rumors. I guess they just like putting stuff out there to maybe get clicks. Whatever’s out there is false. I want to be a Red Wing.”

Bit of a tempest in a teapot brewed by Frank Seravalli sharing a belief about Bertuzzi being “open to a trade” and that turning into an assumptive request and a reason for the diggers to actually ask the guy.

Nothing has really changed.  Leddy is the obvious target. Everybody else is on the table because a good GM will listen to offers on anybody and appropriately price some players so astronomically high that another team’s GM should be fired for spending those kinds of assets for them.

Now we wait…
