@ShillOfWeedST@frankdoesntweet@NHLRumourReport Around 5.25M X 3 years according to afpanalytics. He’s a warrior, would be a nice playoff asset if healthy. Can’t have enough centre depth, can also play LW. Stands up for teammates, PK, shot blocking, net front, can score. Sign me up, cap space isn’t an issue and only going up.
@ShillOfWeedST@frankdoesntweet@NHLRumourReport Leafs have cap space to burn this year. Other moves can be made to improve team speed. I anticipate that they are going to go after Tuch with one of those front-loaded, heavy bonus laden contracts. Jenner can still fit!
@ShillOfWeedST@NHLRumourReport Not true, average skater (52nd percentile), according to NHL Edge date (2025-26). Plus he brings other elements that are needed. Not to mention Centre depth with Domi out. Injuries are a concern, however.
@ldl716 Tuch isn’t Wilson but he’s far from soft. If you watched him in the series against Montreal, he was more unlucky than anything else, it’s not like the effort wasn’t there.
I’d do 10M x 7 all day. He’s a consistent treat to score on the PK too. McKenna-Matthews-Tuch would slay.
@Petespucks@TLNdc@thegoldenmuzzy@Jay_D_Rosehill@bet365ca I’m thinking maybe take from a position of strength (ie. goalie) to address another area of weakness (ie centre). New coach, new system.. maybe moving player a for player b (while lateral) is a better overall fit for the new system.
Use multifaceted approaches to improve!
@frank_seravalli We have a three-way trade to announce…
To Det: Yurov, Wallstedt, 1st (Col-27 via Tor)
To Min: Larkin, Maccelli (rights), 2nd (Buf-26 via Tor)
To Tor: Brodin (2 years remaining at 6M/per)
@burner694@LNNinstagram Minny is looking to free up space, Friedman mentioned they could move him but the ask will be high I’m sure. Might want Leafs 1st (Avs) and Danford or something like that. This would be too pricey with only two years left on his deal.
@Reid68268322@thatssoleafy77 Fair point. Might be a better fit in Van Ryn’s role as an assistant working beside the right head coach. I could see a team offering him a HC role this year though.
@frank_seravalli@LeafsUpdates21 Back to run and gun? Not sure his coaching style will work in the playoffs. Vegas and Panthers hockey is proven to work come April May and June
