...Tuch grew up as a Sabres fan and Adams thinks he'll be a key player for Buffalo's core going forward... How do you know this? I would like to think it is true.
Here is the skinny, if the Sabres wanted prospects they would have asked for Brisson and more.
Tuch is big (220 lb) and can skate really fast.
The Sabres are near the top of league completing their stretch passes, Tuch will fit in perfectly with the system.
His contract is perfect making UFA the same year as Jack with half of the cap hit.
I hope they keep Quinn, Peterka, Laaksonen etc. in Rochester the entire year, this team even with them is not playoff ready.
Next year they will have 4 2nd line centers, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Thompson and Krebs, two top LW Olofsson and Skinner, two top RW Tuch and Quinn and a deep defense.
That may not be as Stanley cup team but it will compete and be in the mix until March IMO (my evaluations have been wrong as I thought the team was be better in 2018-'19).
The return for Jack is less than many expected, but the Sabres got a top RW, a potential 2nd line Center, first and a second.
I hope Tuch grew up being a Sabre fan, hopefully he will sign for another 5 years at the end of this contract.
