An argument could be made that Tuch is the all-round most valuable forward on the Sabres roster. Others score more goals and provide more primary assists, but Tuch is a modern day power-forward who produces offense without sacrificing defensive zone detail.
A big, strong, heavy player who moves very well. For his stature he isn't punishing physically but he's strong along the wall and out front opponents net. He positions himself in such a way , when on offense and when boxing out in his zone, that makes life miserable on opponents.
Off to a slow start in (23/24) but coming off an excellent (22/23) season.
Averages 17:52 TOI - 13:25 ES - 3:19 PP - 1:07 PK ... closing in on being a complete player. Could be considered a 1F
