It's been a year since Tyler Bertuzzi signed his one-year contract with the Maple Leafs. Now, a new report has confirmed that General Manager Brad Treiving has started to negotiate for a new deal with the forward.
Here's what Pagnotta wrote in a post on X:

It has also been reported by AFP Analytics that the Leafs should give him a five-year, $5 million AAV deal, considering his performances and by comparing him with other players in the League, such as Gustav Nyquist, Tyler Toffoli, Nino Niederreiter, and Zach Hyman:
The fact that negotiations have started doesn't mean that they'll reach a deal, but it's a first step.
