Quoting: Stadel
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.

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.

quote=brgh4life]No chance the Penguins are selling and they definitely aren't selling a 20+ minute Dman on a reasonable contract for just a 2nd.
There’s zero info to say Tuch is out for the year… Could be just a week or 2[/quote] Let's remember Skinner and Thompson were doing well before Tuch joined the Sabres, Tuch took them to a new level.
It is unlikely Granato will let the players hang their heads in dispare.
Who do you think will step into Tuck's spot? Olofsson? Quinn? ????
The Sabres should win the next two games V the Caps and Jackets.
Losing the two V the Bolts and Bruins could have happened even with Tuch in the line up.
Without giving up assets, the Penguins may want to make some cap space and send Blueger, Kapanen and a third to Buffalo.
Buffalo could send Pilut and ??? to balance the rosters.
Blueger and Girgensons could form the Riga connection, while improving the Sabres PK.
The playoffs were a long shot with Tuch, let's not lose heart.
