Alex Tuchs Contract Negotiations: A New Benchmark for Top-Tier ForwardsThe Buffalo Sabres star winger, Alex Tuch, is in the midst of contract talks, with reports suggesting negotiations have stalled. However, recent extensions for players like Martin Necas and Adrian Kempe have set a new benchmark for top-tier forwards. Both Necas and Kempe, first-round draft picks like Tuch, have put up impressive numbers, similar to his. Kempe scored a career-high forty-one goals last season, while Tuch tied his career high of thirty-six goals. Sports insider Elliotte Friedman suggests Tuch is likely looking for a contract in the same range as Kempes, which could exceed ten million dollars annually. The Sabres may need to adjust their previous stance to retain Tuch, or risk trading him. Ultimately, Tuch is expected to command a contract worth more than ten million dollars next season.
