Todd Bertuzzi has signed a two-year extension with the Detroit Red Wings.
"It was easy to do," Bertuzzi said. "I love being here, I love being part of the Wings. I'm really excited about our team this year. I feel we're very focused, especially on playing defense. We lacked that last year, and in training camp, everybody pretty much decided to up the ante." The exact financial terms of Bertuzzi's deal are not yet known, but he will reportedly make about $2.25 million per season. He came with a $1,937,500 annual cap hit this season and would have been an unrestricted free agent if he did not re-sign with Detroit.

A two-year deal is a bit of an accomplishment for Bertuzzi, who turned 37 on Feb. 2. Still, Bertuzzi has been solid with 12 goals and 29 points in 54 games this season. He's projected to earn about $2.2 million per season in his new contract, which seems reasonable.

Todd Bertuzzi didn't look like he had just recovered from a sore back and a pulled groin muscle in the Red Wings' 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks Saturday.
The 37-year-old scored two goals, including the OT winner, while playing on a line with Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen. Bertuzzi and Datsyuk have been paired since November and have developed a certain chemistry. If for some reason Bertuzzi is still available on your free agent wire you might consider picking him up.
