I agree that every person on this list deserves to be on it, but, as a Red Wings fan, I hate listening to national writers dunk on Bertuzzi, especially a Leafs fan do it. But yes, he should be on the list. He's harming the team by not being able to go to games in Canada and he's so vital to the team.
