Sabres Rumors: 3 Potential Trade Destinations For Alex Tuch
Buffalo Sabres forward Alex Tuch has been creating some chatter as a trade candidate with the summer here. The star winger is entering the final season of his contract, so he could very well be made available if he does not show interest in signing an extension.
Due to this, let's take a look at three teams who could target Tuch this summer if he is made available.
Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning were linked to Tuch leading up to the deadline, so it would not be surprising if they pursued him again this off-season. It is fair to argue that they could use another top-six winger, and bringing in a player like Tuch would provide them with just that.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks will be on the hunt for a top-six right winger if they lose Brock Boeser to free agency this summer. Due to this, they certainly stand out as a prime potential suitor for Tuch this off-season. He would give them another star to work with in their forward group and more size to go along with it.
Los Angeles Kings
The Kings should be looking to bring in another right winger this offseason, so they could be a team to watch when it comes to Tuch. He would greatly improve their top six if acquired and would give them another clear option to work with on their power play and penalty kill.
