Keep him sign Mathew’s dominate for the next 5/6 years! LFG Buffalo 🙌🏻⚔️🦬 Terry better get his check book out!
I have more faith in Jarmo to not let Tuch walk away like they did Drury & Briere
Everything I've seen and heard about this circumstance tells me that he's going to stay but right now is not the time for negotiations and all that jazz. I think his representation and the teams representatives have a mutual understanding that it's just not the right time for negotiations but that there is immense desire on both parts to make something happen when the time is appropriate
Careful. Buffalo has the youth & upside on many younger players who are also part of this rise to being a contender. Kulich is the WC (who if healthy going forward can score 20+ goals). Ostlund & Quinn are 2 players with untapped ceilings. Helenius is also showing to be a future star. Sabres need to focus on keeping Benson & Beck M. No way should Buffalo go beyond 6 years with Tuch & go into the $10+mil per range. Plus Krebs has also become a integral part of the team.
No way Hes worth over 9. Maybe 8 but that top line hasn’t been good recently.maybe we can replace him next year for cheaper. I wouldn’t do a long contract either maybe 3 years?
Pay the guy
Pay him hes worth it
Tuch has deceptive acceleration for a big body-guy. Watch when he receives that first pass in the D-zone, he's always leading a break out and never gets caught or knocked off the puck
Trade him for a celebrini and 2 first round picks. He isn't worth jack Eichel money because he is hot and cold .
Power is getting an undeserved $8M+ AAV. They should be able to give Tuch $9M for 5 years, maybe even 6.
Also, I am not sure why on the player end that wouldn't be enough in an effort to keep the team good. We can thank Kevyn for overpaying the youngsters way too early. Power ain't worth his salary yet and Samuelsson wasn't doing anything until this year – but Sammy's has at least been worth it.
i think the Sabres announce he's signed on the eve of the first playoff game.
We need Tuck
The big problem is that if they sign everyone back including Tuch (& assuming UFA's and RFA's get their ~expected salary), they will be $13-16m OVER the projected salary cap. Sign Tuch and you're losing at least two good roster players (e.g., UPL and Norris or Byram or Power)for draft picks. Let Tuch walk, you still need to shed $3-6m.
If Tuch wants to stay he will sign and I’m not saying strong arm him offer him a generous contract
I would do 9.5 for 8. I dont see him doing a five year deal and I dont blame him. This is his final shot at a big contract. If we win a cup it's worth it. He's a huge piece. Hopefully you get five really good years out of him
Tuch, is the heart of this team. They can’t let him walk….
