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

[Dingo44]

Jarmo > BriseBois

 

[Sabre the Win]

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.

Yes give me a Robertson.

 

[Jim Bob]

Raddysh did it for 1 year. Tuch should definitely have more value in a sign and trade.

And he did, he got a 3rd...

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Well done, Jarmo.

Yes! Recouped both a 2nd and now a 3rd in addition to getting 4OA! Well done indeed. Jarmo has AMMO!

 

[Chainshot]

Jarmo > BriseBois

Probably more on Tuch having been a known commodity for longer but it is a fun thought. Granted, more reason to vote for Cooper in the next hall monitor election, having a guy like BriseBois as his boss.

 

[Dingo44]

Yes! Recouped both a 2nd and now a 3rd in addition to getting 4OA! Well done indeed.

Jarmo wouldn't have made any of these deals if the Sabres weren't hosting the draft. Terry needs his ticket and Coca-Cola and beer money.

Term.

That's what second round picks/middling prospects are for. To unload contracts to rebuilding teams when the need arises. In the meantime, we just lost a key cog in that locker room and our best all around forward.

 

[Jim Bob]

Washington does not have a 2026 3rd. They do have the SJ and ANA 2027 3rds to move. So, the return is likely one of those two picks.

Was just coming here to say this. It’s a future 3rd.

 

[KiwiGriff]

Obviously, you lose Byram, Greenway and Tuch and replace with Crevier, and the team is worse than last year.

Now we see how Jarmo turns those picks into players I hope.

Any cap junkies out there care to give us an update on what we have to play with now if we give Benson 7.5 AAV at whatever term (to pick a number)?

I like having it in 2027. Possible ammo for the trade deadline.

[tsujimoto74]

Good for Tuch. Good for the Sabres. I appreciate everything he’s done for the Sabres, but I’m glad we’re not the ones on the hook for that contract. I don’t expect it will age well.

 

[BB88]

He’s also superior player

Low tier superstar

 

[Mattilaus]

I would have been a little upset if it was like 9-9.5 over 8, but 10.5? Nah, Washington can have him.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Sad to see Tuch go. But I also understand not paying him $10.5M a year until he’s 38.

I was really hoping they could get him signed to something around
$9-9.5M x 8 but obviously that wasn’t realistic. The max I would’ve went was $9.6Mx8 because that would equal $11Mx7 in free agency and I figured he wouldn’t get more than that.
I’d love to know what Buffalo’s best offer to Tuch was.

Oh well.

I’m excited to see what Jarmo does with the extra cap space and picks he has now.

I lived in DC for a few years. It'd take Tuch's contract to get me back there.

If benson+ Malenstyn cost $10M combined.
Kulich sent down, danforth is buried in A.

Thry will be 12/6/3 with $14M in space

They also have Krebs, ryan johnson, and Levi.

A short term mid-pair RD would be the primary target.

They will be closer to home..





Not

It will take the Tuch's longer to drive to Dulles or Reagan Intl than it will to complete the entire check-in, boarding, flights, and off-loading in Syracuse.

schools in NVA are very good, I used to like the museums, that's all I got.

And we have cap space and assets to add a different "best forward" player.
