Prospect Info: [2020 - 47th ] Luke Tuch (NCAA - Boston University)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
He has exceeded expectations. The Athletic just did a nice piece on him. His college coach raves about him and compares him to Brady Tkachuk, which is pure hyperbole but nevertheless nice to hear he can at least play that style.
The nice thing is we have a kid with some size. So many of today's players are all based on skill and no grit. This kid has both, along with his size. Just let him marinate in college for a while. No rushing these kids.

What? He never said either of those two things. ...

I for one would love him as a gm...

McGuire? Ya he said that, wanted to trade Subban in his prime for the Yakupov pick. He has as many horrible takes as good takes he just doesn’t bring it up ever again.

there's just something about his straight line skating that I think needs work, but he makes really good turns. I was a terrible skater (didn't start till I was 13) so i'm not great at judging the finer details of skating.
 
Post-draft, he has no tweets and 2 instagram posts. That's the kind of attitude you expect from a Bergevin player :sarcasm:

That’s not what McGuire said at all. He said just prior & repeated again at 2012 draft broadcast, if he was Edm he would offer #1 overall pick to Habs for Subban.

Josh Anderson has elite speed, Tuch never will - watched him play lots of prep school, I think he needs 3-years at NCAA but he’ll be good & nasty

Anderson without the straight line speed would not be a top 6 player. I don't see Tuch being one either, but he does enough things right that is fine.

I think that even with his speed Anderson is barely a top 6 player.

A top 9 in a stacked team.

Anderson is big, strong and fast and a good wrist shot.

But

He has no vision whatsoever and he has not good hands in tight areas.

He is about a 25-15 player ( 40 points)

I love him btw and we clearly need player like that but too often this season he had open teammates with easy pass to do and he was face down all the time driving the net sometimes for nothing...
