I would love Tuch and would happily give out the 1st+ that a player of his caliber would usually receive but I unfortunately don't see a world in which Buffalo is selling.

If we’re talking about pending UFA targets that could slide in anywhere in the top 9, both Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri would fit, with Palmieri adding another much needed RH shot. Nyquist and Hall are options that could maybe slot in with Eller and Mangiapane as a playmaking winger on the 3rd line.

Nelson is the only name that I think will be moved that really intrigues me.

Sign me up for Nelson. Pass on most of the other names in this thread.
Gourde, Bjugstad, etc yuck. I'd rather roll with the current squad.

Tuch?

Alright maybe, but I bet the price would be Hutsonish.

Hey Hutson would probably only get you a player like Malenstyn

I’m not dealing a prospect like Cristall for one year of Tuch.

I don't think they trade him for anything but a ridiculous overpay.
And also, like with any other power-forward types, almost every sing;e other team is more desperate for that type of player. Toronto, for example, would likely pay way more. So if he were available, I think someone else would pay more.

It’s Go Time!!
They would definitely extend him if he was acquired.

That I would get behind but the extension needs to happen ASAP.

Strome and Ovi are so bad 5 on 5 that even Protas can’t save them.

Yep, I'm an advocate for breaking them up into two different lines. It'll only look worse in the playoffs.

I don't think this is permanent. Not all of it.
2 playoffs with the inside lane to resign him. Can’t get a player like him, and also hoard your nuts

I see no reason for Buffalo to trade Tuch this season. Why not try to re-sign him this summer first and then only if he doesn't re-sign, trade him?
Tuch is one of the top 3/4 players they are trying to build around. They won't trade him unless they have no other choice. Plus, they'll wanted established NHL-ers back, not futures, and it would be easier to get that over the summer.

Given that they were great 5 on 5 before Ovi broke his leg, I think it's worth letting them play back into form.

Make it make sense for the Sabres, then.
Why would they want Cristall? Their team is literally filled with small creative wingers that they are already struggling to fit in (Peterka, Benson, Quinn, Kulich, Ostlund). On the flip side they want more players like Tuch, not less. He was in consideration to be their captain. Whatever you think from our side for Cristall/Parascak + for Tuch, it makes zero sense for the Sabres. I'm sure they'd be equally as happy to trade player like Quinn/Kulich/Ostlund + for another Tuch.
Who would they actually want from the Caps? C to replace Cozens? So... Dylan Strome? God no. They also desperately need defensive RHD so... Matt Roy? Again hell no, and trade protection alone would block that trade.
Think any talk of Tuch is wasted energy. The Sabres have missed the playoffs for 13 years and counting, they are not going to trade good players for futures. I would imagine that organization and team and fanbase is fed up trading away talent for magic beans that they hope will be good in a few years.
The Sabres have traded away players like Sam Reinhart, Jack Eichel, Brandon Montour, Conor Sheary, Evan Rodriguez, etc and watched those players all succeed and win Cups elsewhere while the assets they received (mostly futures) turned into pumpkins, for the most part. Can’t imagine there’s any interest on their end in continuing to be a farm club for other NHL teams to pluck talent from.
They’re likely insisting on Strome, Pro, Wilson, etc if the ask is for Tuch. Also Tuch is a captain there which makes it all the more unlikely.
