What does the Tuch trade look like?

If he’s not already sitting at the top of TSN’s trade board, he will be soon.

The only Tuch chatter I’ve heard has come out of Vancouver media, and yeah — I get that his wife is from the area.

 

But I’m not interested in draft picks coming back.

The question is whether you can turn Tuch into a return similar to what they got for JJP.

You can't really do the jjp trade in season. 

You're talking a young player who's on the cusp of breaking out or is a high end prospect, a 1st, and some type of cap return.

It might be tricky to make the money work, but with having McDavid likely for only 2.5 years left, being out of the playoffs right now, and coming off a 9-1 loss over the weekend, Edmonton may be desperate to make a move in the coming weeks.

If anything, play Vancouver vs Edmonton (and anyone else for that matter) to drive up the price.

Edmonton is a tricky one. They system sucks, they don't have a first, and they have a bunch of guys on ltir.

To Seattle for Kappo Kakko and a 1st (Seattle has their own and Tampa’s). Seattle wants to get back in the playoffs so they trade for the better player. It’s cap neutral this year for Seattle, and they have space to extend Tuch. Sabres try to thread the needle by getting a good younger, but lesser, player who is under contract for two additional seasons, along with the futures. Kakko’s contract means the Sabres can extend Benson, Doan, Kesselring and still have space to add a significant player through trade or free agency. Kakko has no trade protection.

Utah for one of Igilna, Desnoyers or But and the lowest of the three seconds they have

That's not going to happen. A deadline deal will involve pick(s) or prospects. maybe a roster player they don't want for salary reasons but you don't really want that guy either long term. Maybe you have to take him (like Bruins had to take Mittelstadt) for their cap but what you get will be futures and not good roster players. 

Ideally you can hope for a really good prospect like the Bruins got in Minten on the Carlo trade. If I remember correctly they got Minten, a first and a 4th. Different type of player obviously but I think you can look for something similar for Tuch. Hard to get more unless they trade and sign which seems unlikely.That's a good haul though. Sabres could use a guy like Minten.
