He certainly isn't in the top ten Canadiens prospects.

As long as it doesn't cost to much, he has the tools. His skating needs to improve a bit, but if his hands and head catch up, you never know.

look, I wouldn't not take him for a late pick. I'm just not going to pretend he's more than Justin Bailey.

That's fine, but it's not like Rochester couldn't use bodies and it's not like he's old.

The lack of consistency and engagement with Tuch are the main concerns, and if he can manage to be at his best as often as possible, he could very well become what he’s been for the Terriers this year at the NHL level: a complementary forward who can hold his own in a top six when needed.

Justin Bailey.

I'll take him for Rochester. Not giving up more than a 4

Don't know, just going of Gerbe's comments about his development at BU, and the only way I would do it is if he is going to Rochester.

Sure, it was over as far as I was concerned.


Then the raging alcoholic got drunk and posted more poop last night.

Sorry, I'll let it go.

Luke Tuch at the time of draft, as well as right this very second, has not shown a top 20 ability. Sorry.

I can't tell the future. If he so turns into what should have been a top 20 pick, then, superb call. But today I don't buy what you're selling.

If you watch BU games you Immediately Could see why all the top players struggled it wasn't due to talent.

Coaching and mismanaging players and injuries played a huge part .

That’s not the kind of report card u wanna see if you’re trying to acquire the guy

But maybe we have some inside info from big bro, and are looking to “buy low” thinking he takes a step forward next season?
That’s obviously just pure speculation on my part

After a down season, i wouldn’t want us to give up much for him
A 4th? Maybe a 3rd at most?
