Monty Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Wild were in such a tough spot when it came to expansion. But they lost both Haula and Tuch. If I remember correctly, it was so Vegas wouldn’t take Dumba or Brodin. But I’m getting old, so I could be misremembering (likely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Vegas is trying to get their own version of the Josi and Arvidsson deals - locking up a guy for more than he's currently proven, but hoping he'll continue to trend higher. Tuch has a lot of potential, so it's at least reasonable. But if he continues to have injury trouble, it could get rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 McPhee will ruin that franchise yet. No coincidence the Caps won a cup once he was long gone. He has to be one of the most overrated GM's ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially, Tuch was traded to Vegas for the following and I think Haula was their expansion pick. Las Vegas Knights acquire Date Minnesota Wild acquire Alex Tuch June 21, 2017 2017 or 2018 conditional 3rd round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember someone saying it was to protect Coyle or even all three. They definitely had it rough with the expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo5789 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 While I agree it's a bit too early to give him a long term deal IMO, I can see why they would have considered it. How much would we have given Virtanen if he had put up 37 points last year? I would say many would've been okay with about a 3 million x2 bridge deal for example, so a bridge for Tuch might've been in that 3-3.5 range anyway. Vegas is simply banking that not only will Tuch be able to be consistent, but even take it to another level and what happens if Tuch becomes a 50-60 point guy in the next couple of years, what kind of contract is he going to be looking at? Long term at around 5.5-6 or more depending on the market? Keep in mind that he's 6'4 220+lbs and plays a relatively fast and heavy game as well, which is something we are so dearly missing in our top 6. Also the contract has no clauses in it until the last 3 seasons where he submits a 5 team no trade list, so it's a very movable contract unless he suddenly just drops to a 15 point 4th line plug which I just don't see happening.

VIC_CITY Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Saw the news on TSN.ca and IMMEDIATLEY came to CDC to see the reaction. Wow, what a ballsy move. Surely an overpayment based on last year's stats but could be a good deal down the road. Very unconventional though. Most GMs wouldn't touch this contract.
