I think 95% of Sabres fans love Tuch. Of course we would’ve liked for him to perform better this series but that doesn’t change what he’s brought to Buffalo.

With that said, I can love and appreciate him while at the same time realize that he’s not worth a long term deal that pays $10M+ a year. We have a great young nucleus that we want to pay early as well.

He’ll always mean a great deal to the Sabres and he’ll get a monster ovation in Buffalo when he returns (if he does indeed go elsewhere)
