We can say whatever we want about Tuch's numbers, but we should also acknowledge that he was a little bit buried in VGK, typically playing on the 3rd line for the last two seasons with guys like Glass, Roy, Nosek, and Carrier. And still put up 16EVG / 29EVP in 55gp.

And he's 6'4 220ish lbs.

BUF may have been irrationally keen on him, but so far so good.


Same deal with Krebs...I don't have a strong opinion on him, but he's from the same draft as Dach, Turcotte, Cozens, Newhook, McMichael, Tomasino, (Pelletier)...lots of highly regarded C prospects that haven't done much of anything yet. Zegras and Hughes have only just emerged from this season.

Whether they are right or not doesn't matter, BUF may have felt that Krebs has a ton more upside than Pelletier/Zary and fits into what they want to build.

For the 2nd time... my only thought on the matter is that opinion of our prospects was pessimistic.


I didn't even comment on the Eichel trade as it's over and in the past.
