Tuch extension coming soon?

If he signs an extension with this buffoon led franchise, then it is only about the greenbacks.

And if he doesn't, he's a traitor.

No. If he doesn’t he is smart.

This is Adams’ one “vibes” card to play after doing nothing all summer, they know that 

It will be timed up specifically to generate buzz 

Tough situation. Have to sign him. Also going to be a significantly inferior contract value wise to the last 

[JoeSchmoe]

Maybe he just wants to be here. I make less to be close to home.

You can hate the team AND the player.  It's a win-win.

Would sure like to see Tuch signed. 

Then go out and sign a few more like him.

Tuch is a belwhether. Signals changes are a foot, granted it may be an overpay but it means the nonsense of certain voices, are being questioned. Adams is being filtered out... Cheesy 80's song but vioices carry (may now carry)...

I can hear me now when the season starts and we're on a 5 game losing streak.... WE PAID 8.5M FOR THIS BUM!!! (Yes, I know I have anger issues.)

I don’t hate the player, but do question why a player who will turn 30 next year would sign an extension with this franchise?

Adams is being filtered out? The guy who traded for Tuch and will ultimately sign him? Sure, yea, right.

But he may stand in the way of his precious picks

Idk what this means. Kevyn Adams deserves a lot of ***** but he's been adamant about Alex Tuch from the second he acquired him. There's no voice being ignored. 

[Standing Room Smoking Cigs]

No offense to others but front office is just as important as the product... The history of Sabres is taking that shot, be it Imlach, Bowman or Muckler, granted no Cups, but it was a shot

It means Adams has to prove his "picks" are the right move forward, ego tells him Tuch was a throw in, Krebs was the fancy, and it was a first rounder  adding 2 to 3 that would make a difference. Not arguing Tuch is revelation, but he'll never be a Adams guy. No offense to other opinions respect, but dare I say Tuch has more swag than Adams now.

If KA would have added another Tuch like player this offseason, how much different would we have viewed it? Adding another tough and big second line talent to the roster would have not only made this roster better but would have afforded it greater flexibility. Small time thinking and timidity by an unimaginative GM has crippled this inconsequential franchise.

This is a nonsense fairy tale. Just totally fabricated and in stark contrast to Adams own statements on Alex Tuch from the trade to now.

[DarthEbriate]

That boy is our only hope...

If Tuch Icewalker doesn't re-sign with the Rebellion, then it destroys my whole Ebriate narrative.

So, this is a surprise (to me as a person -- why would you ever sign with this owner/leadership when you could make comparable money elsewhere but have a realistic chance at long-term success), but a welcome one.

It's hard to imagine but maybe he likes it better and thinks the team is improving?
