BREAKING: Bruins Plans With Bertuzzi and Hathaway Got Leaked

In an electrifying debut in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, gritty forward Tyler Bertuzzi displayed his skills for the Boston Bruins, notching an impressive total of five goals and five assists.

However, despite his outstanding performance, the Bruins faced an unforeseen loss in a thrilling seven-game series against the Florida Panthers, who ultimately emerged as the Eastern Conference champions.

Bertuzzi joined the Bruins through a trade with the Detroit Red Wings shortly before the NHL Trade Deadline in March.

As he approaches unrestricted free agency, the Bruins have taken notice and are committed to retaining his services, along with their interest in keeping fellow pending unrestricted free agent Garnet Hathaway.

According to Elliotte Friedman on his recent "32 Thoughts" podcast, the Bruins have expressed their desire to bring back both Bertuzzi and Hathaway for the upcoming season. Friedman shared,

"We've discussed how Boston wants to keep Bertuzzi; I also believe they want to retain Hathaway. General Manager Sweeney appears to be actively involved in trade discussions, indicating some intriguing developments."

Meanwhile, a source from Boston Hockey Now disclosed that Bertuzzi informed his former team of his intention to explore the free agent market this summer.

The source revealed,

"During contract extension negotiations with the Red Wings, he made it clear that he was determined to test free agency this summer. Recognizing the opportunities available, especially after his exceptional performance with the Bruins, Bertuzzi's camp expects increased demand. While the Bruins are putting considerable effort into retaining him, challenges may arise due to his desire to explore free agency for the first time and the team's salary cap constraints."
