UPDATE: Toronto Maple Leafs' stance on Tyler Bertuzzi shifts dramatically; veteran forward could make surprising return.

After a challenging conclusion to the 2023-24 season, the Toronto Maple Leafs geared up for significant off-season adjustments, starting with the arrival of Craig Berube. Despite this overhaul, one constant they aimed to maintain was Tyler Bertuzzi, whose popularity soared among fans throughout the season, solidifying his place in Toronto.
However, reports then emerged he was likely to test free agency, possibly influenced by Casey Mittelstadt's comparable contract. Now, TSN's Chris Johnston has disclosed that Bertuzzi may not be departing just yet, showing willingness to negotiate a contract with the Maple Leafs that could see him return to Toronto.
"Tyler Bertuzzi, who some have thought is out the door in Toronto, that's not so. It sounds like Tyler Bertuzzi is very willing to work with the Leafs when it comes to the length of the contract, even the money," revealed Johnston.

"I don't think this is a case «pay me this or I'm out the door», I don't think there's any hard lines being drawn, and all things being equal, Tyler Bertuzzi would like to remain in Toronto but both of them are waiting to see is there money there, is it a priority for the Leafs as they look to shore up their blue line.»
As free agency kicks off on July 1st amidst potential trade talks involving Mitch Marner, the future makeup of the Maple Leafs for the 2024-25 season remains uncertain. However, after endearing himself to fans last season, Tyler Bertuzzi would undoubtedly receive a warm welcome back to Toronto.
