I understand Vegas probably wouldn’t move him without a gross overpay, but I was just wondering what his value would be
A 1C for a package around Tuch. Nothing less.
When was the last time a 40pts winger fetched a 1C?
Tuch would be a throw in for any 1C, not a main piece!

You couldn’t have picked a worse time to make what may otherwise be a valid point. He has 13 goals in 25 games so far.
He's definitely going to keep scoring on 24% of his shots, that's why you give up a 1C for him.
I agree. It’s not going to happen in reality.
However, there’s no reason to think that he’ll be made available. Market value is irrelevant. Overpayment is going to be the only conversation here, which is perhaps fair. He’s got off to such a good start that the caliber of an unrealistic target has increased from the Fall. That’s what I was trying to get at with my post.

GTFO LOL
I absolutely love Tuchs game, he’s fantastic. Everything you want in a two way forward.
But no, a f**king 1C? You’re high.
Good luck with that.
So what defines his value then? What someone will pay or what the Knights would take? Maybe these obviously-not-on-the-block threads should include a bid/ask spread to illustrate how unlikely it is that a player will be traded.
Alex Tuch (Nasdaq: ALT) +1.875
Bid: Late 1st round pick + B prospect
Ask: Establised 1C for Tuch+

That’s actually a really good idea. Not kidding. Value of is two separate conversations, save for pending UFAs.
You don't even need an econ degree, you just have to look at EBay to understand that the value of any asset is the point where seller ask and buyer offer meet. So his value is somewhere between a 1C and the bag of pucks Leafs fans probably want to offer to elevate him to Team Fantastic.
OP was asking what it would take to get him. He's not available unless a top center is coming back.
The ebay analogy only works if a team thinks Alex Tuch costs too much to acquire, so they go to a European League and sign a guy named Alax Toch that isn't as good, but looks like Alex and most fans probably can't tell the difference.
I mean...sure great.
I would’ve just said “not available” because absolutely no team is gonna give you a 1C for Tuch.
And honestly I probably wouldn’t trade him either.
But fair market value for tuch isn’t a 1C.
Whats more valuable than a 1C? 1D? That’s as valuable as it gets in hockey.

Minneasota offers our #1C Victor Rask, AND our first pick, AND Dewar.I mean...sure great.

Some on here are too blinded by the names in an unrealistic return reply that they can't see it for what it is: a signal that the player is unavailable, not that the replying fan(s) is a homer. These value of threads follow the same formula when a player is not in the rumor mill or getting close to free agency. I've see it happen again and again and again 11 years on this site. If you recognize both values in that way, there's not much to get offended by.
Fair market is whatever would incentivize Vegas to sell him. It isn't that hard to understand.
"How much you want for that vette?
"Asking $70,000."
"It isn't worth $70,000. I'll give you $40,000 for it."
"Good luck."
(The car might be worth $60K to someone actually wanting to sell it)
That’s just not true. Especially in this case.
Fair market value is the reasonable price the buyer would accept. Key word being reasonable.
Massive overpayment is not fair market value. The buyer doesn’t just get to determine what that means.
If the only way you’d move Tuch is a huge overpayment, that’s cool. I probably would too. But huge overpay and fmv are different things.
