The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly interested in bringing back veteran forwards Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi as long as it makes sense for both parties, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. Both players signed one-year pacts with the Leafs last offseason and both got off to slow starts before getting things turned around offensively and finishing the season on the flanks of superstar center Auston Matthews. Bertuzzi finished the season with 21 goals and 43 points across 80 games but also tallied 15 goals and 23 points across his final 34 regular-season games. For his part, Domi recorded nine goals and 38 points in 80 games, including 17 points across his final 21 contests.

According to NHL insider David Pagnotta, the Toronto Maple Leafs have started contract negotiations with Tyler Bertuzzi. Bertuzzi, who signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the club last offseason, is a pending unrestricted free agent. It was a down year for Bertuzzi, but the team clearly still sees him as a very valuable member of the squad and wants to extend his stay. After averaging at least 0.60 points per game for five straight seasons, Bertuzzi was limited to 21 goals and 43 points in 80 games with the Maple Leafs.
