GHT120 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 10 minutes ago, DON said: Tuch isnt much of a prospect, is he? He seems like he can forecheck and be physical, but thats about it isn't it? That is why I wondered whether he might want an AHL try-out to try and show he can be an effective pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couple of times I saw him in person, I was really impressed. I think he rounds into an NHLer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Habs should sign him and see how they ca trade him to BUF to play with his brother. You know, in a package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but how bad would the organization look to sign a guy in good faith and then trade him a few months later without giving him a legitimate shot in your organization. Hughes would not do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thought same about Struble, so what do i know) Tuch is the type of player who should have some success playing a heavier game. He profiles as someone who might be a better fit in the pros than in college (just like Struble in that sense). I don't think his ceiling is too high but there's a bottom-six winger profile in there.

Agreed. He was just so solid when I saw him in person. Granted - super small sample size - only 2 game. But he stood out. Not on the score sheet - but in impacting the game. that said - I only think NHLer - I’d bet 3rd line is his ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Speaking of Reinbacher, his team won't have to play the relegation series after all so his season in Switzerland is now officially over. He could be recalled to North America in the next couple of days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 To Laval or Habs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 17 minutes ago, DON said: To Laval or Habs? Both are legitimate options. I think they'll stick him in Laval and let him get his feet wet down there over being put into the defensive rotation in Montreal. Having said that, if they decide it's better for him to be a lock to play at the Worlds, they could opt to put him with the Habs, play him nine games or less (to not burn a year of his contract), and then give him a couple of weeks off before that tournament begins. Then he goes and plays 20 minutes a night for Austria through mid-May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I am excited on seeing what this young man can do in North America once he comes over. I think he will be another exciting prospect to follow in the AHL Here is Oliver Kapanen's game-winning goal to advance KalPa out of the qualifiers. He had five shots on goal and two points. https://t.co/UlqChigjra — Grant McCagg (@grantmccagg) March 17, 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
