The Buffalo Sabres Need to Re-sign Alex Tuch<\/a><\/p>\n

Scott Laughlin: \u201cFreidge, last one here for you too, and Gord mentioned Alex Tuck. Did his lack of productivity within the Canadiens series cost him some money? And ultimately, do you see him circling back to Buffalo?\u201d<\/p>\n

Elliotte Friedman: \u201cI consider that they’ll try all the pieces they will to get that done. Obviously, the 2 of them haven\u2019t hit the sweet spot yet. I believe, look, he had a nasty series. There\u2019s no doubt about it. I can\u2019t argue with that, but Buffalo doesn\u2019t get there without him, and sometimes all of us have recency bias, and we glance back on the final thing that happened. But overall, he\u2019s been good for Buffalo, and Buffalo has been good for him.<\/p>\n

I believe he desires to be there. I believe they need him there. I believe each side could have to compromise somewhat bit, but I believe the Sabres are also aware that one in every of the explanations they’d the season they did and won their division was due to big role that Tuck played with them. I believe they’ll look big picture, and I believe it\u2019s going to take compromise on each side, but I believe each side need to get it done, and for that reason, I, until I\u2019m proven incorrect, I believe that if each side are willing to offer up somewhat something, I believe it gets done.\u201d<\/p>\n

NHLRumors.com Note:<\/strong> One in all the prized free agents this off-season on the board is Alex Tuch<\/a>. We saw players like Adrian Kempe<\/a>, Martin Necas<\/a>, and Kyle Connor<\/a> sign for over $10 million. Is that an avenue the Sabres need to go along with Tuch? As NHLRumors.com has documented<\/a>, Tuch spoke with the media on Wednesday to deal with his future.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Buffalo Sabres Have to Re-Sign Alex Tuch<\/a><\/p>\n

Paul Hamilton<\/a>: \u201cTuch said he just doesn\u2019t know the way that is all going to unfold for him. He said he loves this team and playing here, but he\u2019s going to do what\u2019s best for him and his family and that\u2019s crucial thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Bov\u00e9<\/a>: \u201c<\/span>Alex<\/span> Tuch<\/span>: I\u2019m going to do whatever is best for myself & my family\u2026\u2026I don\u2019t know the way the talks are going to go & I don\u2019t know the longer term.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We all know Tuch\u2019s teammates want him back. There’s interest throughout the team in bringing him back. Now it’s on the Sabres GM and Tuch\u2019s agent to work out a deal.<\/p>\n
