Why Alex Tuch should be pushing the Buffalo Sabres for a short-term contract extension
Locked On Sabres - Daily Podcast On The Buffalo SabresAbout this episode
The Buffalo Sabres hit the ice for day one of training camp on the ice and Alex Tuch reported without a contract extension. After Tuch spoke about the market shifting and being patient about a new deal, Sneaky Joe makes the case from Tuch's angle for a short-term contract extension that sets up a bigger extension in the future, while also giving the Sabres an extra year to prove to Tuch they can win. Would the Sabres go for a short-term deal? Also, a look at what percentage of the salary cap Tage Thompson and others signed for in the past, and what the comparable would be for Tuch in a much higher salary cap year. Plus, is enforcer Mason Geersten going to make the Buffalo Sabres opening night lineup? And Tage Thompson's 50 goal, 100 point benchmark for the upcoming season.
