I love 89. Want him to stay BUT NOT @ THE EXPENSE OF DOAN . HE is younger and fans fell in love with him Tuch crazy if he wants 8 years @ his age. That's Cap suicide
Is this Darren LaCanfora?
They blew a four goal lead and just hung on against Van. He wants more than 7 he is nuts.
Tuch shall stay!!! Offer him a 9.5M 6y contract….
Been watching these insiders show their faces all over the hockey world. They are brilliant in saying nothing. Just like night time lawyers
No way they should trade Tuch. 10+ was the Kevyn Adams price.
There ain’t no rumors Tuch is staying put…Five years 50
Any team that signs Tuch for $10+ million and more than 6 years will deeply regret it. Would Tuch sign a 4 year contract? No chance! Why won't he? Because nobody in the league would sign him again in 4 years for that kind of money. He wants to lock in a huge salary for the last four years when even he knows he won't be worth it. If this is true, it would make no sense to give him that much money for 8 years!!!! The last four years he will be overpaid by at least 50%. The prudent thing to do for Buffalo is to trade him ASAP. It's the smart move strategically.
Boys. you're grown men sitting inside. take the shades off.
Even if they lose Tuch UFA but they make the playoffs, thats perfectly acceptable. Give up a pick and prospect for Panarin
Something to talk about, that's all this is
Look around the league at what you get for 10 million
You really think this NEW GM would let this guy walk???
Cannot keep tuch for 10mil plus. Not worth it.
Tuch, Power, Doan for Nylander +
Drager is NOT credible when it comes to the Sabres at all. It’s all his own connecting his own dots. He doesn’t have a feel for the fan base whatsoever and is basically making 💩 up. He comes on Sabres Live once a week and steals their $ with conjecture and old news. Loser
Sign Tucky and settle in boys! 🫡🦬⚔️🏒
We fuckin better not
im so sick of non sabres fans talking about Tuch as if they have any clue wtf they are talking about…. Tuch has been a Sabres fan his whole life hes from the area, he loves the team & now we are winning with a young roster + he has said billion times he has no interest in leaving which is rare for a player of his lvl
just because u say "Tuchs being traded" over & over doesnt make it true its not gonna happen give it up
Tuch Deez nuts in yo mouf
what's up with the sunglasses
Tuch has to be retained, number ONE. After that, I’m giving Jarmo three years to rebuild the team any way he wants. But for him to trade away Tuch, a player that loves playing in Buffalo, makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Anything coming from Dreger is made up BS, or just the obvious.
The cap going up makes $10M look decent and I have no issue with he wanting a comp to Kempe’s deal.
Anyone saying tuch over bread man is nuts lol Tuch is nowhere near his skill level even with bread man past prime
Jarmo got Johnny hockey to Columbus that was impressive, to bad he was murdered by a drunk with road rage.
Move power to Cal for Andersson in a deal and use that money to help sign Tuch
just guys wearing hats
Rather my GM swing & miss rather than strike out lookin 🤷♂️
What’s with the two guys on left, they just come from a poker game?
Touch needs to be traded. He is hot and cold and really moody. He is poison for a locker room. Flipping him is the right thing to do. He isn't worth 10 M a year
We would be dumb to trade Tuch what ever we are not trading him
Do not trade alex tuch
Tuch is a drunk. I live in Bufalo.
Tuch needs to stay. Leadership matters
When they get Kulich back it is like adding a top 6 player. They need nothing.
They've been good for one month in the past 20 years…… I would sit him down and discuss playoffs before discussing money.
Tuch will be resigned. You can't watch this team without realizing he's one of the heart & soul guys that makes it work/gives it a chance every night.
Sign Tuch to a 3 yr 30 mil deal
So hottest team in NHL is gonna trade their best player? Nice analysis
