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

I don't see the need.

Title change was fine, tx

 

[jc17]

Just inexcusable to not get Tuch signed. The one playoff year was fun, but this is going way backwards. Good luck finding a replacement and see the price it takes.

The people making the decision are incredibly incentivized to have him stay. For management and the coaching staff, their jobs are directly tied to predictable short term success, which an overpay of tuch would aid.

So letting him walk either says they have a plan to replace him, felt incredibly strongly against the long term implications of te-signing, or are just plain dumb and work are working contrary to their own best interests. While the third option is incredibly plausible to anyone who has followed sports for more than 10 minutes, I'd hope one of the first two scenarios.

It's a fair contract. We should have signed and kept Tuch. But Jarmo might have other targets in his sights.

 

[Jetskiis]

at least give us Satan as a throw in please

 

[Chainshot]

I'm curious to see the bonus structure too. We're not out of the possible range of TPegs not being willing to pay bonus structures the way the rest of the league do.

Pagnotta saying we're getting a pick better than what Tampa got for Raddysh.

So that is better than a 5th. So a 4th?

 

[vcv]

If it's a sign and trade then I wouldn't say it's his rights being traded anymore.

 

[jc17]

Chase that bag, Alex.

Final proof that Syracuse is not Buffalo.

Never one of us.

He's been underpaid his whole career, good for him.

I dont see this as a big slight

 

[Ace]

Two of the biggest reasons we lost to Montreal are gone within 24 hours.

Watch your back UPL/Lyon

 

[Zman5778]

That's my assumption. Maybe a 3rd in 27 if Jarmo pulled some magic.

 

[BloFan4Life]

So we lost him for a million dollars a year. Cant wait to see what terrible forward we give to sit in the press box for 80% at a million dollars.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for a guy about the deal he chose to sign and then be happy for him for the next one?

Those are him issues.

Mine is him parading around as a Buffalo guy and proving he isn’t.

If you listened to Jarmo's presser........term was the issue, not AAV.

Getting low-balled by Adams is certainly a bigger slight toward Tuch, helped poison that well.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Pagnotta saying we're getting a pick better than what Tampa got for Raddysh.

As we should. Raddysh did it for one year. Tuch has been Tuch for many years. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a 2nd.

Easy enough to understand both the position of Tuch and his representatives as well as Jarmo and the Sabres. No hard feelings.

 

[Dingo44]

I definitely respect not wanting to pay Tuch until he's 38. I'd rather pay Robertson $2.5 million more a year for the same term until he's 34.

 

[Fezzy126]

Wish you well Tuchy, really enjoyed watching you the past few years.

Your steal along the wall against Eichel and goal in his return here will be a core Sabres memory for me.

Ya, because Alex Pietrangelo has hurt Vegas big time this year. Good GMs know what to do.

 

[VaporTrail]

Glad he's gone...Maybe his replacement will be more respectable to the fans...Good riddance.
