Bruh, nothing they do at TDL can make up for Tuch. Its a wrap for this year. The priority should be trying different combos, giving younger players meaningful minutes, experimenting with different lines/special teams units to see what works/what doesn't. That way they'll have a clearer picture of where to focus their priorities in the off season.

No chance the Penguins are selling and they definitely aren't selling a 20+ minute Dman on a reasonable contract for just a 2nd.

Question: Why would two teams battling for the same wildcard spots trade with each other to give either side an edge?

Answer: They won't.

Sadly, that's my feeling at the moment too - outside of them trading for Meier (which seems improbable), they can't replace the speed, strength and passion that Tuch brings. I'd like to think that Adams will consider adding another offensive weapon at lesser price like Boeser but even that seems unlikely - and the only other palatable option for fans to give the team a shot in the arm to compensate for the huge loss that Tuch will be is if they promote Kulich, who's been dynamic in the past few weeks. Unfortunately, we all know Adams' history - he wouldn't promote either Quinn or Peterka last season when the Sabres were on a late season roll because he didn't want to "interrupt" their development so he's very likely going to take the same attitude in avoiding any promotions of the prospects in Rochester, despite their play earning it.

Instead, they'll revert back to the familiar and expect that a journeyman like Hinostroza / Bjork or a role player like Asplund to fill the vacant roster spot.......and the Sabres dreams of playoffs will take a nosedive.

It was always kind of a long shot given the schedule and that their best goalie is 87 years old. But there's a lot of valuable info they can gain down the stretch and a decent draft pick.
