Value of: Alex Tuch to Montreal

[HuGo Sham]

What a bonkers proposal, why would the Habs trade their #1 prospect for a veteran 2nd liner in the middle of a rebuild?

they wouldn't

 

[DJN21]

You could clone Hutson and offer both and id still say no...

 

[BLNY]

To Montreal:

Alex Tuch
Connor Clifton

To Buffalo

Josh Anderson
Lane Hutson
Jordan Harris


Tuch would be the perfect fit for Montreal IMO. He certainly not on the block, but is the value there? Do we have what it takes to move him out of Buffalo?

What do you think Sabres fans?

I'm all for getting rid of Anderson, but not at the expense of Hutson.

 

[Mac Attack]

he had a shit year. If he bounces back with another 25 goal year, he'll be suddenly good again - especially if habs trade, many of you will magically find his value again.

Regardless, it's too much of a risk to trade Hutson for a winger that doesn't fit into the habs timeline. Clifton also has no place on the habs (he might have value elsewhere)
And at 23, Harris has value as well.

This OP's proposal has 0 thought to it and this has become a pissing contest

He has had one 25 goal season years ago and one 40 pt season in his career. Bounces back???? Serious delusion here

Josh Anderson was a 25 goal scorer once, 6 years ago.

Chris Tierney had nearly 50 points that year. I hear if he has a bounceback he'll be worth the moon too

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Didn’t you know that he’s from Syracuse?? That means he would never ever play for another team even if you held a gun to his head .

It doesn't mean anything to Tuch ..but it does mean something to the Sabres organization. Get it right.

Sabres might do it for Kakko .. but everyone knows he's untouchable

Why would the Sabres need another lhd prospect vs one of their better fwds when they have 3 top 4 picks at the position under 23 ( including 2 #1 overall!)

 

[TBF1972]

completely ridiculous...tuch is already 28 and had an outlier season at 32 goals.
He hasn't scored more than 22 in any other year.
Anderson who everyone seems to hate, has 2, 20 goal years and get this, has the exact same number of career goals (131) as Tuch.

top 3 prospects? lmao.
I actually like Tuch, but if Hutson has a rookie breakout year, no one with an actual brain in their head would trade a young dman for a winger.

you can dislike the proposal,
Let's stop pretending harris and anderson are simply throw ins.

anderson is 2 years older than tuch
anderson has played nearly a full season more to score his 131 goals
anderson has recorded only half the assists tuch has
anderson has the higer cap hit

anderson is a cap dump

They wouldn’t. The proposal sucks

Tuch Tuch Goose

That's the issue with HF. Every fan wants to upgrade their team by dealing packages, no one wants to give a good player for such a package.

No wonder discussions flounder so often.
-----
This deal just doesn't make sense, regardless. Buffalo wants to exit their rebuild and compete, so they won'tmove a contributing young skater for more youth, Montreal is trying to improve but won't give up unproven high-end talent before giving them a chance.

Florida got Reinhart from us for a package.

Vegas got Eichel from us for a package.

Philly got Risto from us for a package.

OReilly...Miller...Vanek...Pominville...Gaustad.



If there's ONE franchise of fans not to make this criticism at...it's the one that's fed everyone else the last decade.

27. And the last couple of years he was on pace for 25 but was injured. He finished with 19 and 21 goals - prior to last year's disaster.
He's not a playmaker. I get it, you hate the player.
try sticking to the facts though.

Lend me your time machine, since you know what the future holds for the player.

 

[Whalers Fan]

Bergevin is no longer the GM, so they wouldn't. If he was still there, though....

 

[CanadienShark]

Horrendous.

Buffalo does not need LD
Anderson us a cap dump
Clifton is their only RHD under contract.

Who are Montreal lo s 3 best players? What are their top 3 prosprcys.

It will cost you one of each for buffalo to trade Tuch

Suzuki + Slafkovsky+ Reinbacher for Tuch?

The guy had more than 40 points just one time in his career and is two years older. You’re the one who is going to need the time machine so that you can go back in time to a year where Josh Anderson was actually good. You may have forgotten that Alex Tuch had 5 more points in 8 fewer games than Josh Anderson. Andrew Shaw had the same amount of points as Anderson in 19 fewer games. Does Andrew Shaw all of a sudden have value because he might bounce back? Anderson has negative value. It’s like you are trying to sell a rusted out 30 year old station wagon that needs an engine replacement. Even at its peak it was just pretty solid, and now it just sucks.

Tuch is being treated like he’s some kind of incredible player in this thread. I get he’s good, but he’s a 2nd line winger. Some of you keep focusing on points. Anderson isn’t a playmaker. He scores and hits. And for context, has the same number of career goals as Tuch. I was just reminding people, aside from last year, he hasn’t been that bad. Many players don’t live up to their contracts. If he bounces back at his usual 20 goal pace, he’s a valuable player with size. And No he hasn’t lived up to his contract. He wasn’t the centrepiece of this awful deal anyway; it was Hutson

Fair enough that Anderson brings more than just points, but he still has negative value. His chances of bouncing back as a 30 year old physical forward aren’t high enough. Hutson has more value to the Habs than Tuch, and Tuch has more value to the Sabres than Hutson.

needs more Barron! Come on Habs fans don't disappoint me! He's every team's missing piece but yours! Now gimme a Evans is the ideal bottom 6 center for every other team!

In terms of beauty this was the anti-Griffey swing here...

I always admire the swag of Sabres fans. keep it up.
Oh and send your complaints to the OP

That might be what Sabres would ask for. They aren't getting it form Montreal though.

Ok ok ok since YOU insist, ALL sabres fan will agree to Evans and Barron for Tuch, you can fax the paper

Josh Anderson has sucked for two years and Montreal can’t trade him. Josh Harris has zero value
