Player Discussion Alex Tuch (acquired via trade from VGK)

I'm as excited about Tuch as much as I am about Krebs.

I'm as excited about Tuch as much as I am about Krebs.

I'm more excited about Tuch to be honest.

Krebs is very nice to have - but Tuch is a known quantity who is also such a good fit.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Nice contract, production, nice age range (same draft year as Sam) to help with the young guys coming up.

Size, speed, some skill, Sabres his favorite team, sign me up.

I'm just worried some will want him gone since he is so old like VO.

put tuch on tages wing. they can be legion of doom lite

 

[Sabre Dance]

Oh I'm getting that one.

 

[Fjordsen]

I really wanted to see this player in Buffalo. I always liked his game. I was afraid that we would get Smith or Dadonov over Tuch, who would soon leave the team.

 

[Zach716]

Gonna need to snag a Tuch jersey.

Those and the, Buffalo should flip Tuch because he doesn't want to be there takes.

Yep, I really like where he’s coming from- A Sabres fan who has been part of a successful organization, has seen it have its own internal strife, and who hopefully has the maturity to step into a leadership role without being, like, friggin Gionta. I’ve never followed him much, but from everything I hear he should be a fantastic part for us.

This should be a no-brainer. Power, Cozens, or Krebs will be able to fill these rolls easily in a few years but as of now there's no comparison to Tuch as far as leadership and experience. I know Okposo is much older but Tuch has already played in 66 playoff games.

Oh no his parents bought him a butter knife jersey.

Hopefully the Sabres give the players access to mental health professionals to help with his childhood trauma.

Legend has it Tuch gave Connolly his first concussion in that game.

 

[Buffaloed]

Drew Stafford V2 new and improved

If he still has it he can put it on ebay and end up selling it for a freaking fortune.

Two different players, but the Sabres have not had but needed a player like Tuch for a while.

 

[sabremike]

Gonna need to snag a Tuch jersey.

So you're looking for some Tuch????????
