Value of: Alex Tuch

[jay from jersey]

Tuch was a promising young player who did well for Vegas before the trade, but man was he streaky. Either hot or cold and nothing in the middle, and the streaks would be long both ways.

Reminds me of Kreider.. more physical with less speed.
Both both go hot to invisible

I'm not tied to Tuch like most fans are. Buffalo needs to revamp the top-6, though, and I'm not sure a future's package is a worthwhile trade unless the future GM can flip those assets for roster upgrades.

Touch is a local area kid with fan popularity.

Just from a PR standpoint if you are to trade him something must be coming back that isn’t future magic beans.

Alex is 28 years old in is prime , he will ask a good 8mil in 2 years for 7 years, will end up being a bad contract in 4 years after that signing.

But as a Habs fan i would make a bid for sure., especially with is brother in the Habs lineup eventually.

I think CGY first (between 12 and 22) + Armia/Dvorak + 2 good prospect between Beck/Roy/Kapanen/Struble/Engstrom/Mesar/Dobes/Thorpe

Then Sabres tank again for a top 5 again

Pretty bad for Buffalo, imo.

Would you trade 3 quarters and a nickel for a dollar? Of course not, so why should Sabres fans

I don't think Tuch is available. I know Rangers tried to get him in March but Adams shot down any trades.

 

[Kegs]

I would be shocked if he didn’t retire a sabre

 

[Kegs]

No we don't want prospects..no we don't want picks.

If you are in the mix of the playoffs a deal is probably not in the cards because we want upgraded roster players.

How do u propose they upgrade the roster players?

 

[biturbo19]

I'd think Tuch is probably near the least likely piece for Buffalo to move. Never say never i guess, but i think it'd have to be a doozy of a deal to even really think about it. They need more players like him, not less. Plus he's got important chemistry with other key guys there. Also a more or less "local kid" and seems to be well-liked by the fans as well.


Only reason i could see that changing, is in the summer...if they don't think they can convince him to re-sign. But he still has another year on his absolutely ridiculous cheap sweetheart deal. So even then, they'll have time to figure things out.

Does that really need to be answered? .. Seems pretty obvious to me. Use roster players plus futures to upgrade ... hence why I said playoff teams are probably not going to be in the mix
