Crappy if we don’t sign him given our desperate need for size and grit, maybe he doesn’t like Lane

I wonder if it's the Canadian dollar and taxes. Seems like a lot of American players just don't want to be in Canada.
Yeah, and thank God for that.It's possible Tuch feels that way. But it hasn't stopped American drafted players like Caufield, Harris, Struble, Primeau, and just recently Hutson from signing their ELC's with Habs.
Yeah, and thank God for that.
But there are some who just don't want to be in Canada. I can't think of another reason why Tuch wouldn't want to come here. We could certainly use a player like him in the bottom six.
He'd be perfect. I just don't get why he doesn't want to sign.100%
He won't be a game changer if he signs, but having a guy who is 6'2 and 203 lbs in the bottom-6 will help them more than having too many small players there. All due respect to RHP, who does play with heart.
A guy like Tuch and a guy like Florian can definitely help them come playoff time.
Are they not paid in USD which is then converted? If so, I understand the high taxes but your money still goes furtherI wonder if it's the Canadian dollar and taxes. Seems like a lot of American players just don't want to be in Canada.
Yeah, I think it's the taxes. Some guys also don't want to play in fishbowl markets. Montreal the scrutiny is intense.Are they not paid in USD which is then converted? If so, I understand the high taxes but your money still goes further

Yep, I shouldn't have mentioned the dollar. That's so 1990s.They are indeed paid in USD.
It would be nice if he signs but if he doesn't, I'm not sure it's a major issue. Could be an energetic bottom 6 player but those guys are also easy enough to find. Would be nice to produce them ourselves though
Yeah I'll be happy if we can move him and find a replacement anywhere from 23-25 years old.If he chooses not to sign with us, hopefully we can work with him to trade his rights to someone who wants to sign him like Adam Fox. I'll take a mid round pick back as that's probably what his value is.
He should sign here though, there's a lack of that type of player in our organization.
That Staal - Armia - Perry line was so good for us when we went to the finals, hopefully we can recreate something like that with guys like Tuch and FlorianBeen years since we had a big, tough energetic fourth line. Teams usually have to overpay on the market for those. Better to develop them yourself.
He'd be perfect. I just don't get why he doesn't want to sign.
Well the first one is difficult to accept as well. If you start doing it for 3rd/4th liners, then you’re expected to do it for every single player moving forward. At some point you need to draw a line in the sand.Maybe they’re not offering him a “burn a year of ELC” deal or won’t promise to him that he’ll skip the AHL next year.
If it’s the first one they must be kinda low on him (doubtful) if it’s the 2nd part gtfo
He was a bad pick but it would be disappointing to have him walk for nothing when he starts trending up for the first time.
I really fon't see much harm, ESPECIALLY for the low-ceiling picks. They will never break the bank even with RFA coming one year early. DF you think Farrell will get a monster contract after next summer if he is still clearly an AHL player?Well the first one is difficult to accept as well.
