They're calling, I don't doubt it. Is Buffalo actually hearing folks out?

Kevyn Adams is listening, it's most of the fanbase that isn't.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Hasn’t there been talk that despite Tuch being from Northern New York State, his wife is not and she would prefer to be elsewhere?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm not even a Sabres fan, but teams calling a player being available are 2 very, VERY different things.

I have no doubt teams are calling, they should.

Adams himself has said they aren't looking for prospects. We aren't making this up out of thin air.

His wife’s from Vancouver

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Adams is absolutely terrified of losing another trade.

 

[Hodge]

It doesn't make sense for the Sabres to sign Tuch to a 7 or 8 year extension that will kick in when he's 30. His 36 goal season was an obvious fluke that will never be repeated. Might as well cash in now when teams will overpay for the extra cheap year.

Sources say Kevyn Adams is seeking palm trees as a return

You give him too much credit. His main directive from ownership is low cost. Tuch is low cost and yhey can deal him next year at the tdl for pretty much the same return if he doesn’t want to sign. This is clickbait. There is zero incentive to move Tuch absent a HUGE overpay which would defeat the purpose of trading for him. You want him great, give us Kuch. No? Then Point will do. No? Click.

How does this make any sense?

I dont expect s 7 yr. Was thinking 4-5 yr extension.

If I was interested in the opinion of thirsty non-Sabres fans about an organization they don't care about, I'd have asked for it.

Tuch reminds me a hell of a lot of when we kept telling people over here that Jenner wasn't for sale despite lots of folks calling again and again, and nonetheless there were tons and tons of thirsty third-party "expert fans" insisting over and over that we were wrong, we didn't know what we were talking about, he was totally for sale and he would totally be moved. Yet he's still a Blue Jacket to this day.

So I'd prefer to hear from people who are actually close to the team. Because if their management really has decided he's available, sure, the Jackets would be interested. But given past experience with these kinds of situations in general and with Tuch rumors in particular, I severely doubt he's genuinely available.

How does this make any sense?

It doesn't, there is no directive to keep costs low. It also would add salary if we took on any of the two players they referenced in a trade

Exactly.

I'm calling Sydney Sweeney, but there's no rumours about us dating.

People calling is not the same as sabres shopping him. Big difference.

Buffalo wants a hockey trade not magic brans

From Tampa it likely involves Cirelli coming back

Just from a PR POV,,, he was the big piece for Eichel coming back. He is from syracuse area and gree up a sabres fan. Buffalo trades him for m.j magic beans there would be a PR backlash. If they wait till summer and find out hr dorsnt want to sign or asking insane money, then sabres will trade him


Buffalo is loaded in the prosprct/AHL pool. They dont need more.

In a few years things will be a bit different when they decide who yo invest in nbn and who to trade and then restock the futures pool.

How does this make any sense?

It's a defense mechanism

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Absolute stud. Any team would benefit by adding him.

 

[Cloned]

How did Cam Robinson become the next Bob McSeravelli?

 

[Beerz]

Make a hockey trade or get bent.

Everyone acts like three team trades don't happen. Unlike a lot of the crap we see posted on the trade forums, this is a scenario that would actually make sense to get a third team involved.

Also, this is the second insider who has come out and said that the Lightning, and other teams, are interested. Unless the Buffalo GM comes out and explicitly says he's not available, rumors should justifiably swirl. Brisebois wouldn't continue to hover about if Adams gave him a hard no.

 

[SnS]

I don’t doubt the calls are being made. But I’m sure most of the answers aren’t what other GMs want.

 

[Yatzhee]

I don’t doubt there are lots of calls to the Sabres on a few of their players.
I don’t believe they’ll be moved.

 

[Beerz]

Wouldn't be the first three team trade.
