NHL Trade Rumors: 3 Trade Destinations For Sabres' Alex Tuch

The Buffalo Sabres are struggling once again this season, as they are at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings with a 5-6-3 record. Due to this, pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) Alex Tuch has been a very popular name in the rumor mill.

If the Sabres do not improve and Tuch is not extended as the deadline gets closer, he could very well get moved. Because of this, let's discuss three potential landing spots for him. 

Los Angeles Kings 

The Kings need another scoring winger, so it would not be surprising in the slightest if they made a serious push for Tuch. They have been connected to him before, and he would give their top six a serious boost if brought in. 

Edmonton Oilers

The Oilers have been connected to Tuch, which is understandable when noting that they need more scoring. If the Oilers acquired him, he could slot perfectly on their first line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. He would also give them another impactful player for their power play if acquired. 

New Jersey Devils

Don't be surprised if the Devils make a push for Tuch this season. It is clear that they could use another top-six winger, and he would be a fantastic pickup for them because of it. If the Devils acquired him, it would only make them an even better team, and he could make some real magic playing with either Jack Hughes or Nico Hischier.
