Zach Benson extension should be close. Per @FriedgeHNIC 👀

[Buffalo Sabres @BuffaloSabres]

We have acquired a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft and forward David Kampf from the Washington Capitals in exchange for forward Alex Tuch.

If given a top-6 role, could Noah Östlund put up numbers even close to what Alex Tuch did? 🤔

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

@IceMetrix He will be just outside the top 5 in 4 years

NHL 2026 DRAFT | BEST HOCKEY IQ 🧠

The amount of people that don’t understand what “higher ceiling” means is concerning. 😭

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

Chase Reid has a higher ceiling than Bowen Byram. Yes or no? 👀🔥

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

Alex Tuch has officially been moved in a sign and trade with the Washington Capitals.

Contract: 8 x $10.5M

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Not sure how all the pieces fit yet, but Alex Tuch will be traded to Washington and extend 

8 x $10.5M

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

I’d assume Alex Tuch is getting moved today.

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Buffalo GM Jarmo Kekalainen said “Alex Tuch will be missed,” but the Sabres are moving on from the talented winger. 

He added they will look at a sign-and-trade, with multiple sources indicating Washington as the favourite

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

@Pequods81 Yes, it’s my opinion. If scouts project Chase Reid as a 60+ point defenseman, then yes, I believe he has the higher ceiling. His closest player comps are Zach Werenski according to Elite Prospects.

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

Chase Reid has a higher ceiling than Bowen Byram. Yes or no? 👀🔥

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

@Pequods81 I’ve seen manyyy scouts say Chase Reid will be a better player at his peak than Byram. Chase Reid is going to better than a 30-40 point defenseman 😭

[NHL Forum @NHLxForum]

@_Prom3theus_ @Pequods81 I know it’s not that obvious but I was asking a question.😭 “Yes or no” which should clarify I’d like people’s opinions.
