Blackhawks complete move with Tyler Bertuzzi amidst all-time low

The Chicago Blackhawks have promoted Tyler Bertuzzi in a move that is a complete surprise during a ten-game scoring drought.
It appears that Interim Coach Anders Sorensen is playing fast and loose with the makeup of the Blackhawks lineup.
To give you an idea Bertuzzi in his last five games has only scored 2 points ( 2 A) and does that mean he deserves to be promoted?
It's interesting that another controversial move has happened with the Blackhawks lines. Sorensen has seen fit to bench
Lukas Reichel who has been pushed out of the fourth line by the "hand of justice" as he "didn't like his game".
Yet veterans like TJ Brodie,
Alec Martinez, and Pat Maroon have yet to receive any significant discipline.
Now, another example of how veterans get the kid's gloves in Chicago!
Tyler Bertuzzi is hardly a playmaker and has failed to provide significant scoring in ten games.
It boggles the mind how these decisions are made. Yet they persist and continue as the Blackhawks lineup is lacking talent that could elevate the team into contending status.
Bertuzzi in my opinion isn't deserving of a first-line role.
In 57 games he's scored 30 points (17 G, 13 A).
Worth a spot next to Connor Bedard? Debatable.
He's slated to make $5.5 million AAV over the next three years as the first year of his deal signed with GM Kyle Davidson ends in July.
