Updated w/ confirmation from team The Red Wings announced today that the club has signed free agent forward Todd Bertuzzi to a one-year contract. In accordance with team policy, additional terms of the deal were not disclosed. Source: redwings.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=479859---------------------------- Apparently Jim Devellano who is Senior Vice-President & Alternate Governor of the Detroit Red Wings has said that Bertuzzi either is a Red Wing or is going to be one very soon. Take it for what it's worth as the source is the HFBoards - but if this is actually what Devellano said, I'd expect as one of the highest people in the Red Wings front office he would know what is going on & wouldn't have said such a thing if there wasn't at least something to substantiate the statement. hfboards.com/showthread.php?p=20776014#post20776014

General manager Ken Holland confirmed Monday the club is negotiating with free-agent forward Todd Bertuzzi.
“We’re talking to him,” Holland said.
Holland declined further comment, but a league source said the club offered Bertuzzi a one-year deal worth $1.5 million for next season, and that there is a strong indication that a deal will get done this week.

Still nothing confirmed but according to TSN's Darren Dreger "Bertuzzi is about to rejoin the Red Wings...still has to be cleared by doctors"
