Norcal Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I want him on the ice. I hope they don't rush him before he's 100% ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard different time estimates at the time of the trade, the most optimistic came from Tuch himself and I seem to remember he said he might be good to play by the end of the year.

woods-racer Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Line options... T.O.G. Tuch, Kyle, Zemgus Just like LOG but with the ability to score consistently. It would be our third line with 1/2 line minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not waste his scoring touch on a line with pluggers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I’d like him to play with Mitts eventually, I just think they would be a good match. I like a scoring winger matched with a centre on his forehand side. LHC with shooting RW and RHC with scoring LW. The set up seems better than having to pass on your backhand a lot. If the line does a lot of East-West movement and switching it doesn’t matter. If the C is the sniper (Matthews) then a playmaking RW makes sense (Marner). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I wish Sabre fans would show some restraint for Tuch the same way they are for Owen Power. Guy is going to be a very nice piece, but I get the sense some people are anticipating the 2nd coming of Mike Foligno. He is not going to score 30 and he’s not going to beat people up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuchs a good player who occasionally makes the hard plays look easy. That's why I like him. I don't need him to beat anyone up. I just need him to be hard to get off the puck and able to finish at a decent clip. I don't think he's reached his prime just yet. I'm looking forward to that.

pi2000 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 We need to pump the brakes on expectations. He hasn't played in 6 months, on a new team, coming of shoulder surgery... It'll probably take him the remainder of the season to get back to where he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping for a Kyle Okposo from 10 seasons ago (understanding that John Tavares is not feeding him) with a heck of a playoff resume.

A more likely outcome is the Kyle Okposo of this season. Tuch's best season is 20 goals and 32 assists. 18 goals and 36 assists is what Kyle is pacing for this year. The level of toughness and hard work is similar. Edited December 16, 2021 by dudacek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
