Rumor: Cam Robinson - Tuch Availability

[Flat Ronnie]

The time to trade Tuch was in the offseason for a player like Sergachev

Adams whiffed on this asset. No deals will be good enough this deadline and his value over the summer will be significantly less than it was last.

At this point, if the deals now aren't good enough, what are the better alternatives going forward?

 

[5 Minute Major]

The solution to the Sabres woes will not be at trade deadline
They are going to need to make a splash with some ufa as well as a trade with some futures

It’s gonna be the offseason. Not futures

Right.

And they can trade futures in the off-season. As well as roster players.

Why is this so hard to get for some? Trade chips come in all shapes and sizes.

The Sabres finished last with Eichel, RoR and Reinhart.

Impressive!

Moser does play RD, but we wouldn't move him for two Tuchs.

Well then I have good news for you!!!

Moser does play RD, but we wouldn't move him for two Tuchs.

So 1/3 of the return you got for Sergachev last off-season is worth two Tuchs?

Yes…

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yes…

Okay so you're just a homer then, thanks for clarifying that

Not exactly but you are welcome I guess

Theoretically no. But yes in application. Sergachev is a hell of a player. Wish him nothing but the best. It's not like he can't defend. He was always great in the playoffs. But the guy simply chooses to not let go of the stupid ass razzle dazzle he does every shift and the countless mistakes that come with it. Moser is like watching paint dry and it is exactly what we needed from Sergachev all the time. All said, Moser is probably our biggest get since trading Bishop for Cernak. That is worth more than Tuch could ever be.

I admire the Sabre fans sticking to their guns

It’s simpler than that. We have no shortage of scoring, Tuch is somewhat of a luxury and not needed. Moser however is essential to our defense going forward, cheap, and is the heir to Hedman/McDonagh while Tuch is a year away from UFA. Here I am being a homer though.

People need to realize that a MAJOR problem for the Sabres right now is that they have an insane glut of prospects to the point there is no room in Rochester. What is remarkable about the coaching job Leone has done is that Rochester is stuffed with kids to a degree you usually don't see for a successful AHL team (usually you have more vets as glue guys). Getting more prospects just adds to a glut that no other team has interest in because if they did more guys that Savoie would've been dealt.

Yes, he was undervalued. He's not much below Sergachev. That trade is the reason why we are better this year.
