don’t do that for tuch...yes he’s a big bodied power forward but he’s not worth 15OA.

Definitely not enough for Murray, but tbh I’d probably take that gamble for tuch. Sure it’s risky because as you said he didnt have a great regular season but he could be the 6’4” RW pens need

I’d be prepared to pay BIG for him. Tbh I wish he was having a bad playoffs because he’d be way cheaper to acquire. I would love him in pit. He’s exactly what we need

Tuch would be a nice add. But I see no reason for VGK to move him.
They really aren't in a bad situation cap wise. People only put them there because they want to replace MAF. But something tells me they work around that.

Bingo. If we need to move around salary, moving the 34 year old Stastny while Glass and Krebs are waiting makes much more sense. Tuch is showing what he’s capable of this playoffs and we have him signed at a very reasonable number for the next 6 years.
