Who knows whether he will return to form. Shoulder surgery is nothing to sniff at and many players have never recovered their games after going under the knife for this procedure. Tuch was a nice add, but there is no way Buffalo targeted him as the primary in this deal. We also have no idea what Buffalo thought of the Calgary offer as we don't know who was in it. We can say it wasn't up to snuff because the offer wasn't accepted. The only thing you can be certain about was Calgary didn't have Peyton Krebs, the player Adams had fallen in love with.

This, from the guy who is critical of the Flames/Treliving for not trading Tkachuk for Tarasenko, Kyrou, and Puchen-something....
