dlbalr Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 What's particularly interesting is that Tuch got a one-way AHL deal. Usually it's ATO/PTO deals at this time of year. I assume that lets them pay him more, offsetting some of the foregone money by not signing an ELC that starts this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his ELC would have started this season, how much would he have actually received? Maybe 1/82 or 1/41 of the salary, plus the signing bonus?

At most, he will get 2/72 of his AHL contract ... assuming it is the same as the AHL value of his ELC, that is $2,569.44 ... one game of his NHL ELC would have been $11,280.49 ... while that would have been some nice "pocket change", the REAL motivation for asking/hoping for a 23/24 ELC would obviously have been to burn a year and get to RFA, then eventually UFA if all goes well, a year sooner.

So 3/192 since there's games until Thursday and then the signing bonus as you noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no AHL salary this year since the contract doesn't start until 2024-25 so it doesn't have anything to do with his AHL salary on the entry-level deal. There is no cap on what a one-way AHL contract can be and often runs into the six figures. I wouldn't be surprised if Tuch's 'salary' in the minors is actually in the six figures. He's eligible for a full weeks' pay since the deal was registered there Monday and there are games I think until Sunday. That wouldn't completely compensate for what a few NHL days would have been but it would help bridge the gap compared to an ATO which is basically just per diem money.

dlbalr Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Pretty clean contract overall - $912,500 AAV, $925,000 cap hit. $25,000 in GP bonuses next season, no bonuses in 25-26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Seems like a future Armia type? Hopefully "good " Armia, not like the bum we saw prior to January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Struble-like underrated physical guy, i guess is hope. We shall see how he does in Laval next season with Reinbacher, Hutson, Mesar, Beck...

Since Stuble is a defenceman, my "target" might be a more skilled and dependable (e.g. 12 minutes/game) "Micheal Pezzetta", still with possible 3rd line upside.

alfredoh2009 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Nice to read this: I absolutely loved Luke shutting down rumours that he wanted to go to Buffalo to play with his brother. He talked about remaining loyal to the team that drafted him. Jordan Harris told me the same thing when he signed after his fourth year. Character kids. https://t.co/OfKEHw8Ezw — Grant McCagg (@grantmccagg) April 18, 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensively, not a bad comparison. He's good on board work/cycling with a decent enough shot (not quite as strong as Armia's though). He might be a 10-goal guy in the NHL. Defensively, I'd be pleasantly surprised if he got to Armia's level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect we'll know much more for both Beck and Tuch a year from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Tuch supposedly had a solid game in Laval to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
