Player Discussion Alex Tuch (acquired via trade from VGK)

[GrierIsGod123]

I think it should go to Olofsson due to seniority. At his age, I can't see him playing past next season. Tuch gets his chance then.

Truly think they need to consider re-signing Olofsson to some term. Not 8 years, but see if he'd take a 5 year deal (5x5.5?). We can't keep bleeding talent, and he provides something that is hard to find. Quinn can maybe be a trigger man, but would prefer to have two guys that can finish with their shot.

It's also a means of developing. You let Olofsson go, and all of a sudden you're forced to put a prospect in that spot. He's a really good PP player, and is turning into at least a solid top 6 guy at ES.

VO doesn't strike me as the captain type.

Okposo, Tuch, Cozens, Krebs, and even Mitts, sure.

This dude apparently played with vets in his downtime in Vegas. He rescues dogs. Ugly dogs. He told the waiter it was the waiter’s birthday and gave him a free cake. And made it his birthday. Dude is magic.

Seriously though, that vet thing is real and cool. Mentioned by some guy on Vegas and relayed on spittin chiclets I believe.

Since Olofsson is 26 and Tuch is 25….. and most know that I’ve pumped both their tires for years…. I think you are trolling me. Or whatever the kids say these days….

Depends.. Are you triggered? If so, they might be triggering you? Honestly not sure.

(There is someone trying to deal Olofsson on the Trade Board who contents VO will be too old by the time the Sabres are good.)

Just VO?

You didn't mean Veterinarians right? Because you said he helped dogs.

Not triggered. Triggering post didn’t trigger me.

 

[Dex]

If you watch the Vegas video, that's a A at least. We haven't had a talker on the ice like in while. But things are often done on team seniority in the league.

Often perhaps, but not always. See Craig Rivet:

SABRES NAME CRAIG RIVET CAPTAIN

For a guy that entered the league late, he's going to want to maximize dollar and term as much as possible. I'd love a 5 year contract for Olof but I doubt he'd go for it at a reasonable AAV. Hope it happens, though.

I think Tuch will be the captain next season

Reminds me of a younger Steve Ott.

Both. Experienced animal doctor veterans. Veteran veteran veterinarians.

Is he learning other languages so he can chirp opponents too?

Of course they also wouldn't eat meat, so they would be vegetarian veteran veteran veterinarians

 

[TehDoak]

Tuch shouldn't be anointed anything. 'No saviors' should be the motto of this team going forward.

Are they confirmed though? You know, properly vetted?

Stay on topic. We're talking about dogs, not horses.

He should give Linus a call to take over Ullmark's Barks - Dog, Cat, Pet Adoption, Animal Shelter in Buffalo

On a contender, Tuch is a low level second line winger.

The package from Vegas for a top-7 center in the world, is shocklingly bad.

I would rather trade him + add assets for someone 20-23 years old, who can be a top-6 player today.

Arizona is putting on a tank of the ages and would surely be up for a trade.

You're sure Jack recovers to be 100% Jack? Last guy I can think of who head something that didn't go right was Owen Nolan. He was never the same player after his surgery. Not even close. Ever. Don't remember what the surgery was exactly but it ruined him although he did play again.
