Player Discussion Alex Tuch (acquired via trade from VGK)

[Zman5778]

Me too. Looking forward to Tuch's debut tonight.

Finally a reason to tune in and see one of the first key pieces of Adam's rebuild actually suit up for the team.

Might want to check the GDT.......................

Hate to break it to you MayDay... C'bus has COVID running rampant so tonight's game against Buffalo has been postponed.

 

[Jacob582]

They missed the deadline (last night) to send Tuch to Rochester on conditioning assignment for Wednesday's game.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Aren't they all meaningless regular season games...

For this team, yes.

 

[beerme1]

I can believe it

Well recent history says so I guess LOL

Motion to permanently shut down Toronto.

Seconded

There's been a bunch of posts since yours with no dissent having been expressed, so I think that this motion has passed! Next item of business..... I think I'm going to propose shutting down the New York Rangers. Just putting out some feelers here......

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Tuch with the winner tonight and EN, Cozens two assists, UPL with 28/30 saves, Buffalo 4-2 Final

Appereantly Friedman said Sabres tried to get Zegras,Drysdale, and two firsts for Eichel. Damn that would of been nice, but a huge overpayment by the Ducks. Oh well still happy with what we got.

 

[Kublakhan]

Murray-Cozens-Tuch was the line in practice yesterday.

I like it..

I'm guessing that was the initial ask, and not a realistic expectation. I'd be curious what the initial ask was from Vegas if what we received is what was settled upon.

Fast two-way center with size and speed (well, with Tuch) on the wings? Perfect.

Once again, i second the motion.

It's what a healthy eichel would have been worth, though i doubt any GM was going to give up that much in assets even for a healthy eichel.

Two big and fast and all three over 6'4"? Sequoia line!

For some reason, I didn't realize Cozens was that tall...........I always thought of him in the 6' even range. Huh.

Bloom talked about how surprisingly big Cozens is, especially when they get out on the ice. It's going to give some teams matchup issues... which is funny to think about for a Sabre team.

Especially when he adds his man strength and fills out. Big, fast, strong with skill is an enviable tool set

Hey I'm happy he at least tried to get that haul. I'm happy as well in the return we actually got. KA did well given the circumstances.

I concur. I'd even almost go so far as to say I'm surprised he got what he did. Eichel may never be the same. Zegras, Drysdale and whatever else would have blown my mind. It's also a career ender for the GM if Eichel is never the same.

Funny that the Sequoia line doesn’t even have our tallest player on it.

Not sure who is playing RD, but that line with Power and Samuelson on defense would cover a lot of the ice with their reach.

I'd add IQ to that tool set, Cozens understands the game and is miles ahead of say, Tage at the same age. It's an impressive list of attributes. Not a superstar level in any one category but he has well above average ability in all those areas, I'd say just under elite in those categories, and that high end combination of all those abilities is kind of what makes him different/special.

It's also why he seems to have a limitless ceiling...it's too soon to tell just how good he'll be but there's every reason to believe he can perhaps be a top 15-25 player in his prime. Just a hair below superstar, high end, 2-way centre - not Jack-level...he won't stick out individually too much but the type of player that just helps your team win...maybe a lesser version of Bergeron w/similar style/ability with a little less offense and a little more grit?

We'll see but he certainly has an impressive skill-set.

What a pity he won't play several next games
