Confirmed with Link: Alex Tuch (signed 8x$10.5M) to Washington for a 3rd Round Pick in 2027 and David Kampf

[Club]

That is more than a dream lol

Think 5th rounder

Even if we add 20 + something minor?

Yes.. Still far off

 

[Zman5778]

After the Kyrou trade, a Tuch sign and trade would be really interesting.

If Washington is the place.....they sure seem like they're loading up to go for it in Ovie's last year, but also putting themselves in a decent place post-Ovie.

The way Jarmo was talking about it in the presser they just 'want to get some value' for his departure. I doubt this will be part of bigger package. A 4th or 5th round pick seems likely.

I will say this:

If we had missed the playoffs and Tuch walked for nothing, this would be considered another in a long line of franchise missteps. Adams would be at the podium giving every excuse in the book right now why its not his fault Tuch is leaving.

The success the team had this season has made this tolerable if not probably the right move for the team. Combine that with Jarmos great communication and being up front with everything, its a breath of fresh air for a team that has been a tire fire for over a decade.

After Carolina, the metro is WIDE open. I don't have faith in any other team in that division to stand out right now.

Yup.

Jarmo: "We will be fine"

Sounds done

That's a lot of dough. He should be worth it for the first few years. I didn't want to go over 9M a season, but I understand others willing to do 10M.

 

[Duddy]

Jesus that's a lot of money, okay for maybe the next 2-3 seasons, but a big holy f*** for the rest

 

[sabresfan129103]

I mean I don't blame him. Its his only real chance to cash in. I wanted no part of paying him $10 million+

 

[MGIII]

It was too bad they took so long to turn things around while Tuch was here on that dirt cheap contract, but alas. Great ambassador for the franchise and played a big role in them getting to the playoffs and through Boston. Hope he gets the bag and generally does well except when playing against us.

Definitely gon shed some grown man tears when the Caps come to visit.

Raddysh got a 5th from Toronto in his sign and trade.

I would expect a 4th or 5th back as Washington doesn't need to offload salary ala the Marner sign and trade for Roy trade last year.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Leonard? (Probably not but a guy can dream)

We share the same dream. Him or Aliaksei Protas.

Ooof. Glad we didn't go that. A team would have to give him 12M cash on the open market, which I don't think anyone was doing.

It'd be a fine contract for about 3 years then 3 years of fans wondering when they could buy it out and then 4 years of eating the dead cap from the buyout.

 

[Beerz]

And by the sounds of it... Jarmo didn't want to give Alex full term.

 

[Jim Bob]

We share the same dream. Him or Aliaksei Protas.

That isn't what teams get in sign and trade deals like this.

Exhibit A: Toronto giving up a 5th to TB in the Raddysh sign and trade in the last week.

 

[truthbluth]

It’s going to be a 3rd rd pick

Quiet. We can dream and discuss preferences until it’s announced.

I take that and run.

He aint alone.

Probably a pick next year, Washington doesn't have a 2nd or 3rd this year but 2 3rds next year.

All the rumors swirling around made it sound like Seattle or other west coast teams.

Capitals? I don't remember hearing anything like that. (then again, I wasn't paying that close of attention)

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

UFA rights are worth more this year because of the changes coming to contract length.
