Lawyers for Todd Bertuzzi offered $350,000 last year to settle the $15 million lawsuit brought by Steve Moore, the former Colorado Avalanche player whose career was halted by Bertuzzi's on-ice attack in 2004, according to a report in the Toronto Star. The report cites court documents, in a letter to Bertuzzi's attorney, which stated said a December 2006 meeting between both sides arranged by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly was "a complete waste of time" and that the settlement offer "was calculated to be an insult and was an insult." The letter, dated March 29, 2007, is labeled "strictly personal and confidential" but was filed as a public record as part of a motion filed in Ontario Superior Court by Orca Bay, the Vancouver company that owns the Canucks, according to the report.
