He was very visible tonight and had some great scoring chances. Hope he puts one in soon.
Interesting, I thought he had been playing fairly well. Wonder who is coming up to take his place.
Could be no one. We were running with a short-roster before we called up Tuch.
Doesn't make sense to run with a short roster, with the amount of games that will be played in a short period of time.
TDL cap space. He got a taste of the NHL, and knows some things he needs to work on. Top line mins in Iowa are probably better than 4th line minutes in MN.
And more physical IMO. He's still young though.
He's got some issues he needs to work on. Defensive zone play needs some work and he needs to know that you have to get the puck out of the zone as first priority. Second, he's gotta get the puck deep in the o-zone on every opportunity he has. Wasn't overly impressed with him unlike when Eriksson Ek was up.
Agreed. Ek was stronger, faster, and played smarter. Could be he is just better?
At this time I'd say Ek is better in all facets and it's not close. Effort is there all the time. Hard not to like Ek as our top prospect right now (or Kaprizov). Tuch is probably behind Kunin for me.
I'd agree, but also would say that it's all very fluid right now. Greenway is also to be considered. It is nice to have a mix of size and skill in out prospects. Still waiting for Tuch to get a bit of confidence and start ripping shots. I seem to recall that he has a good one.

7 on goal in the 3 games he played, including 2 pretty 'grade A' chances against Chicago. Probably another 5 or so attempts/misses if my memory serves be right.
