86Viking Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Vegas signed Tuch to a 4.75m cap hit for 7 years on a new deal. But since then they have traded for and signed Stone to 9.5m while have Marchessault signed long term to 5m as well. Do they want to pay 4.75m for a 3rd line RW who saw his ice time reduced since Stone trade. They dont have a ton of cap room going forward, so would Tuch be a potential player we look to target in a trade? Colin Miller has a decent point shot, sub 4m salary and could slot in as a top 4 d for us and help our PP. Would be a nice target for us as well imo!

lmm Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I kind of like this proposal, but at what cost, does Jim get bent over by McPhee? Does Tuch have the wheels to playtop 6? Vegas has 9 picks in the top 5 rounds. I'd be worried about Jim getting played by Goerge. They are already retooling their 2 year old club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re talking about McPhee here. The guy that traded a 1rst and two 2nds for Tomas Tatar. Also the guy years ago that traded 11th overall Filip Forsberg for one playoff run with Martin Erat. The guy gets bent over on most of his trades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mentions he has more picks this draft than Jim and they end before Jim's mighty 3 in the 6th. Keep mocking McPhee if it makes you feel good.

86Viking Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Mchpee like any GM has made poor trades or draft selections like the rest of them. Do I think we could inquire about Tuch or maybe RHD Colin Miller, yes I do. What would it cost us? It won't be cheap but I wouldn't overpay to acquire either of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took so many expansion draft deals and got an incredible amount of draft capital for a couple years by doing so. Vegas has shocked by playing well and it’s made McPhee deal away a lot of this draft capital to bolster his lineup for playoff pushes. Some hits and some misses for sure but I’ll trust in his past record he’s not a very good gm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see after this draft where he has 9 picks in the first 5 rounds, he has 14 picks over the next 2 years, and is + 1 in round position, (extra 2nd in 2020, no 3rd in 2021) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I think Tuch would be an excellent addition. Big top 6 winger. Only 22 and the price is right. Not sure who we'd have to trade. Would you do it for Gaudette + Hutton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly they can afford it because they acquired so much of it during the expansion draft. However if you keep making deals like a 1rst, 2nd and a 3rd for players like Tatar you’ll run out of those picks really quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a healthy scratch for game one, but has played every game since then. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe Silvia Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I don't understand why Vegas would want to move him. He's young and signed on a great contract. All the more reason they'll want to keep him. The cap is expected to rise, and they really only have to re-sign Karlsson. They can make it work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Tuch is a monster. Vegas is not going to move him, they're a lethal threat BECAUSE they have that kind of depth. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuch is a good player, but would have to pass. it would cost too many assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may want to try clear out some cap space to take a run at E. Karlsson. Yes it would cost asset(s) to get Tuch but we will never get any better if our GM doesnt pull the trigger on a bigger trade, cant do reclamation project for reclamation project over and over and over again....Team still gets stuck with a glut of meh players...We should be trending and turning a corner, time to make some changes to help that. I just dont have much home gm JB is the guy to accomplish that. But most of CDC is pro JB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
