Again, I’m not disagreeing with any of this. But if you trade him, you have to get someone that is the other teams best NHL ready prospect. Any first round pick outside the top five is five years away from being useful.

Yes, like the Bruins did getting Minten from the Leafs for Carlo. Leafs blew that one big time. Sabres need a similar type deal if they do move Tuch. For sure. A high pick AND a roster player for next year.

We play Calgary tomorrow and they have added a player

Eh.  Waiver claims are always trash players.

Beecher is a former first rounder who underwhelmed. Lost his spot with Minten playing well. Bruins opted for the tougher, heavier guy in Viel for the 4th line. Beecher is a decent face off guy and PK guy but not much else. 

The Sabres equivalent move would be keeping Dunne and waiving Danforth (if healthy) or maybe Krebs. 

Calgary probably just wants bodies for their tear down to come.

The very first team on the priority list claimed him. These are the spots where I would love to know how many claims were made. 
 

It’s also the time where I’m waiting for the first “you suck Kevyn, why didn’t you claim him”.

Elliotte Friedman today saying nobody will be out of it at Thanksgiving like in past years because of the parity and closeness in the standings, particularly in the Eastern Conference. He's correct.
