That's Tufte news for Riley.

 

[Rebels57]

Should definitely get claimed by someone. He's a solid AHL middle sixer at worst.

 

[FrankerC]

Has been pretty terrible on the Bruins.

 

[Cup or Bust]

I have never watched this 6'6, 230 pound monster play. He can't skate, or what is his issue?

What happened to Yamamoto? Now on his third team, poor guy can't seem to stick anywhere.

If he was 6 feet and 190 he would be a really good third liner. He hasn't been able to consistently create enough offense to stick in the top 6 and doesn't really have the size to be an effective bottom 6 player.

In his limited showing with the B's he's a guy with tools and no toolbox.

Skating isn't really the problem. He plays like he is 5'8" with average AHLer hockey awareness.

Too bad Yamamoto and him can't switch bodies, then you would have a heck of a player.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Rempe replacement?

 

[Treb]

I suspect many Habs fans will want to claim Tufte.

Tufte didn’t get a fair shot in Colorado and he didn’t look great in Boston once he did.

Hope someone picks him up, but it’s a tough sell right now.

Colorado could use a forward given how many injured forwards they have, especially now that Ritchie has been sent down. This is their current forward lineup:

Colton - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Kovalenko - Mittelstadt - O'Connor
Wood - Kelly - Kiviranta
Ivan - Wagner - Steinberg

IR: Landeskog, Drouin, Lehkonen
Suspended: Nichushkin

Bednar was vocal about being disappointed that none of the depth guys stood out in preseason so there's not much in the system to call up. Looking outside for help makes sense, and at the very least Tufte offers some familiarity.

If colton is out, oh boy we need another forward.
