This could have been handled in just about any way other than it was. Seems par for the course already with this franchise. Obviously no sane person is going to work for Foley. We’re going to have to overpay free agents now and that ain’t gonna happen because he’s a tight wad

Agree with the idea that Tuch isn’t good on the 3rd line. But he’s not a skill forward: he’s a power forward. Those types of players need distributors that find them at the front of the net. Therefore, I think moving him to the top line makes the most sense
Neal-Haula-Tuch
Smith-Karlsson-March
Leipsic-Lindberg-Perron
Carrier-Bellmare-Nosek
Eakin

Also, props to Jason for having his head on straight: there’s a lot of building to do before this team is legit. If they make the playoffs, they aren’t beating anyone.
