Prospect Info: Luke Tuch

[Rapala]

It’s clear HuGo will view this year as a failure if the team isn’t playing for a playoff spot into April - I don’t see them derailing team chemistry for the sake of draft picks if the team is in a position to compete for a playoff spot at deadline

Nope. That's stretching it.
The hype this year has been blown out of proportion people have us running when we haven't even shown we can walk yet.
First things first let's get out of the pre-season and see what our team looks like.
Then we need to look at the first 10-15 games to determine if we can hold our own on special teams.
If that goes well and we aren't bleeding goals and giving up zone time then expectations can start to rise.
We will have to beat teams in our division starting with Ottawa who now have us at 9 straight on the wrong side.

There’s more lessons to learn hence more losing, but, we’re getting into one step back two steps forward territory.

Big shout for Luke Tuch, he's not too far from the NHL...and looks like one of those guys that when he's recalled, he's going to stick for good.

I wonder what his fighting skills are like, he wouldn't have fought much in NCAA, but if he has that dimension to his game you have to think he's coming for Pezzetta's spot soon.

Yeah, he's been my revelation in camp, I was not expexting him to look THAT good. He's been really solid in his own zone, his speed is good also for a guy his size and his puck protection is really impressive.

I agree with you, at some point this season, he's gonna get the call and never return to the AHL.

He'll be on the team next year if everything goes smooth in Laval this year imo. He has the attributes we need in the bottom six.

He absolutely does.

Pezzetta is marginal, Dvorak should be traded. Beck is not ready. Neither is Tuch.

However, Evans is not deadwood. Neither is Armia. Gallagher scored 16 goals last year. Anderson looks motivated.

Agreed on everything except Anderson.

Not sure how to read. Sounds like he wants a better season, but doesn't seem to show it, so hopefully that's just "it's pre-season"
