A recent report surfaced that the NHL is suddenly concerned again with how many teams are signing player in the opening minutes of free agency, well aware that conversations are happening before they should be. The league already investigated a few contracts, including John Tavares\u2019, but it\u2019s not often deemed that teams outright tampered.<\/p>\n<p>The Blackhawks and Bertuzzi might not face repercussions, but this is something teams will need to be aware of moving forward since the league is watching.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Blackhawks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Blackhawks<\/a> forward Tyler Bertuzzi says Nick Foligno reached out to him before he decided to sign in Chicago. <br \/>\ud83c\udfa5: via Chicago Blackhawks <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y4ZkJCX3YW\">pic.twitter.com\/Y4ZkJCX3YW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CHGO Blackhawks (@CHGO_Blackhawks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CHGO_Blackhawks\/status\/1809325182584012965?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Elliotte Friedman, shared in his recent \u201c32 Thoughts\u201d column that the NHL is digging into these instances a little deeper. Editor in Leaf added that the NHL is specifically looking at Bertuzzi\u2019s signing. They believe there was a possible violation of free agency negotiation rules after Bertuzzi reportedly had communication before free agency opened on July 1.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-bertuzzi-was-still-under-contract-with-the-maple-leafs\">Bertuzzi Was Still Under Contract with the Maple Leafs<\/h2>\n<p>While it wasn\u2019t necessarily the Blackhawks who reached out to Bertuzzi, direct contact from other teams is prohibited. One could argue that Foligno\u2019s phone call was on behalf of the organization. It\u2019s somewhat grey in that the call was just to discuss the possibility of him joining the Blackhawks, which reportedly piqued Bertuzzi\u2019s interest. There is no proof that terms were discussed or that it went any farther than a conversation between two friends.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bertuzzi-tampering-Blackhawks.jpg?resize=1000%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bertuzzi-tampering-Blackhawks.jpg?resize=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bertuzzi-tampering-Blackhawks.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bertuzzi-tampering-Blackhawks.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bertuzzi-tampering-Blackhawks.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"NHL May Investigate Tyler Bertuzzi's Signing with Blackhawks\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Bertuzzi tampering Blackhawks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Still, the NHL wants to avoid situations where the tampering is too apparent, especially when players are still under contract. As Friedman wrote, \u201cThe league doesn\u2019t need a complaint to act. When Toronto signed\u00a0John Tavares, it was investigated \u2014 and cleared \u2014 without the Islanders asking.\u201d If the NHL decides something needs a closer look, they\u2019ll look.<\/p>\n<p>While it remains unclear what disciplinary actions, if any, Bertuzzi will face, the league could issue anything from a public reprimand to more severe measures such as a fine or suspension.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NHL may investigate Tyler Bertuzzi and the Blackhawks for tampering after captain Nick Foligno spoke to Bertuzzi before free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-blackhawks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
