Red Wings Captain Breaks Down Into Tears After The Team Trades His Best Friend Away
The word is always that hockey's just a business, but there is always different perspectives to it, especially trades that happen unexpectedly.
That is the case this week in Detroit, when they traded lifelong Red Wing, forward Tyler Bertuzzi to the Boston Bruins in exchange for a solid haul of a 2024 1st alongside a 2025 4th round pick. Bertuzzi has spent seven years in Detroit, and has built good friendships with his surrounding teammate, who he calls brothers.
