Flyers interested in Bertuzzi

TheFourthPeriod.com

The Philadelphia Flyers are believed to be among the teams interested in signing veteran forward Todd Bertuzzi.

Bertuzzi, who is not likely to re-sign with the Calgary Flames, is expecting to find a new home this week.

The 34-year-old winger told the Calgary Herald he'll likely sign with a U.S.-based team, and the Flyers are one of the clubs that have shown interest.

In 66 games with the Flames last season, Bertuzzi tallied 15 goals and 29 assists for 44 points.

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren has been looking to add another forward, presumably for the team's second-line.

Should the Flyers add Bertuzzi, or any other forward, they may have to pull the trigger on a trade to shed additional salary.

Bertuzzi made $1.95 million last season and should see his salary inch closer to the $1.2 million range.
