Detroit — The Red Wings kept busy during this off-season Saturday, signing Tyler Bertuzzi to a two-year contract.
Bertuzzi, a restricted free agent, agreed to a two-year contract worth $9.5 million ($4.75 million per season salary cap hit). The two sides were able to agree on only a one-year contract the previous summer — worth $3.5 million -— with Bertuzzi filing for arbitration.
Bertuzzi will be an unrestricted free agent when this contract ends.
Bertuzzi, 26, was limited to nine games this past season before a back injury that required surgery ultimately cut short his season.
