‘The Sabres looked slow with the puck. Breakouts weren’t effective because there was hesitation in the neutral zone. Too many possessions were one-and-done because dump-ins weren’t sent in the proper corner behind Detroit’s net.’

Alex Tuch ‘very excited to come to Buffalo,’ ready to help Sabres build a winner
‘“But, like I said, I am very excited to come to Buffalo. Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, which is right down the road, right down route 90 there. So, it will be a lot of fun to come and put on the Sabres jersey down the road here.”’
Red Wings roar back, stun Sabres in overtime: ‘A little bit tense’
‘“They probably got uptight before the second goal,” he said. “It was the defensive zone. It wasn’t any doing of their part. It was doing on us. We just slid out of position and created, opened a seam, which is uncharacteristic. So you could look at it, say we must have been tight. It could be the only explanation for it. Because it was a simple coverage that we’ve done over and over and over.”‘
Alex Tuch thrilled to join Sabres: ‘Buffalo, it’s gonna be like none other’
‘“It was Buffalo, it was everyone around Buffalo,” he said. “They love their sports here and they love their Buffalo Sabres. I’m really excited to play for a fan base like this. I mean, I was very thankful to play in Vegas where they really embraced us, the entire city embraced us. But coming to Buffalo, it’s gonna be like none other.”’

Michael Arace: Balance of a blockbuster deal hangs on the neck of Jack Eichel
‘In the end, Adams performed a salvage job. He had to remove the latest, and darkest, of clouds to darken Buffalo. He was never going to get an adequate return and, all in all, he did all right.’
Breaking down the Jack Eichel trade to Vegas
‘The feeling on the Sabres’ return: That’s all they got? It looks like a talented prospect (Krebs), a middle-six forward (Alex Tuch, not expected back until 2022 after offseason shoulder surgery), a first-round pick that’s top-10 protected (meaning it won’t be in the top 10 if Vegas is a lottery team this year), and a 2022 second-rounder for the third they included with Eichel.’
