So in reality, Vegas got a mid to let 1st in Krebs, a top 10 protected first (which means middle of the pack at best), a damaged player that might get a at best a second, or more likely a third or a fourth, if floated alone with his current injury, and a second round pick. Far from the bounty of firsts Buffalo expected.

Just my opinion. Tuch is worth a 1st, for sure. I’ll stand by that.
To elaborate, Tuch is a 25 year old 6’4” 220 lbs RHS RW who can move and has hands. He was on a 26 goal pace last year playing 3rd line and, IIRC, some PP2 time. Sure, he has had a significant surgery, but it’s not as though he should be left for dead.
Speaking of the white hot takes you alluded to a couple days ago, Tuch being worth a 3rd or 4th fits the bill. Bone up on your hockey knowledge, man.
