Actually, it likely isn't. One of the most overlooked aspects of that nonsense is that Bertuzzi was already in decline before his cowardly assault. He was still getting assists because his linemates were carrying his ass, but his goal scoring dropped off a cliff, and he was taking a lot more penalties. He was a liability as much as he was an asset at times. (iirc, he managed to pick up a triple minor against Calgary earlier that season.)
