Rumor: Sabres finalizing another trade (not Byram)

[Schemp]

The Sabres will probably re-sign Tuch now.

 

[atlanticobserver]

Would be so funny if Elliotte came in from the top rope to announce Tuch to Pittsburgh or something hilarious like that

 

[Buckley]

I still don’t really know if he would play in Seattle. Panarin turned down like 15 mil AAV there. Feel like Tuch would settle a bit to play on a better American team

Or Toronto.

 

[atlanticobserver]

The Sabres will probably re-sign Tuch now.

3 or 4 reports have come out saying he’s gone barring a last minute change and that they’re working towards a sign and trade

 

[OkimLom]

This guy legit?

More than your typical Twitter personality

Pagnotta was also adamant Chicago was trading the 4th for Knies. He doesn’t have any clue what he’s talking about

 

[atlanticobserver]

Or Toronto.

Don’t think he’d settle financially. Contract ain’t as valuable up there. Also, think he would probably prefer a team set up to win now. Not that that’s not Toronto’s aim, but it’s a bit more of a risk. Also, not many big American names heading north these days. Don’t see why he’d buck the trend.

Chad DeDominicis, one of the most reputable Sabres sources, posted the exact same thing a couple hours earlier. Just read this thread lol. Chad is as reliable as they come and Pagnotta is basically just repeating his reporting

Will legitimately shock me if the Leafs land an American big free agent

They literally have Captain America. With a 1st line LW also from the US.

 

[Jacob582]

McLeod, Quinn and UPL for Helly and Iafallo

 

[Boxscore]

Maybe Hellebuyck?

Was Captain America or that 1LW signed in free agency?

About a two hour drive from his home town. And they have two American stars are their first line lol.

Well, Tuch wasn't in the Team USA group chat so there's always hope...

Does it matter? And Captain America has signed 3 contracts in Toronto so yes.

You do realize he is choosing to leave his hometown per the Sabres reporters, right? Clearly being close to home is not a big priority

 

[ottawagm]

Quinn to Ottawa?

Free Agency. Alex Tuch is a Free Agent. You are convincing an unrestricted Free Agent to take money that’s not worth as much in an open market that is starving to overpay him. And not even really a premier contender either. And crappy weather that he’s been dealing with for a few years now. Not buying it

I won't be surprised if it's Toronto.

 

[Steddy33]

McLeod, Quinn and UPL for Helly and Iafallo

Um no

 

[VanillaCoke]

4th OV & Östlund

EP40@10M , Mancini, Lekkerimaki

 

[atlanticobserver]

I would. I could see the appeal for Raddysh. I don’t really see the appeal at all here. The market for Tuch is going to be huge

 

[Havok89]

4th OV & Östlund

EP40@10M , Mancini, Lekkerimaki

That’s brutal for BUF

 

[old kummelweck]

Link?

And the Sabres have gotten good returns but no idea why they’re basically blowing up a pretty functional team

lol crappy weather? It’s better weather than he’s known his whole life. You don’t know Toronto well, do you?
