Bertuzzi, 29, appeared in 80 games for the Leafs scoring 21 goals and adding 22 assists.
Bertuzzi struggled early on in the year but proved his value down the stretch, locking him up is a good thing for the team, especially under a new head coach.
According to David Pagnotta the new contract will feature an AAV or $5,500,000 per season.
