If Tuck was available you’d have a bidding war by many teams leading to a price of around
1st+ 2 ELC players/ prospects

Sorry, if Stephenson/Roy is your #2 C, you are not a contending team.Stephenson has played 2C at times, then there's Glass, and Roy who could possibly step in too. Stastny's the most expandable of the forwards, especially as his career is winding down, and quickly it's looking like.

Stastny has been our 3C at times this season, with Stephenson/Glass in the top 6 over him. FYI.Sorry, if Stephenson/Roy is your #2 C, you are not a contending team.
At least with Glass, there is potential.
I still maintain Glass is not ready for #2 C, especially after a major surgery like he just got... Maybe on a bottom feeder without any expectation like the Red Wings, but not on a team like Vegas that is all-in. As old as he is, Statsny is still 100% needed in that line-up for next year.Stastny has been our 3C at times this season, with Stephenson/Glass in the top 6 over him. FYI.
Curious, how many Knights games did you watch this year? Stastny, if playing like he has this season, is really not "100% needed".I still maintain Glass is not ready for #2 C, especially after a major surgery like he just got...

#16 OA+ or Caufield is great offer IMO. I like Tuch a lot, but he's not a first line winger in my humble opinion. I think he'd be great on Montreal's top 9... That RW would be solid (Gallagher/Tuch/Armia) for a few years... And it'd make Armia more expandable. Fit is great for Montreal for sure.
Looks like he had a rough year statistic wise - I've only been watching him in the playoffs and I'm surprised his point totals are so low. Good player.
Probably not as many as you, but if DeBoer still plays him 17+ mins a night and on the 2nd PP, my guess is that he disagrees with the assessment that he is not needed.Curious, how many Knights games did you watch this year? Stastny, if playing like he has this season, is really not "100% needed".
He is not just a 3rd liner. He just happens to be Vegas's 7th best winger. He'd certainly be on Montreal top 6.As I said...many teams would be bidding driving up the price. Vegas tight against the cap will want back cheap ELC players eho can play in the nhl.
If he’s just a 3rd liner why trade Caufiield?

6 years of Tuch >>>>>>> 1 year of Stastny
It's really not hard to understand. They'll be just fine with Karlsson-Glass-Stephenson-Roy down the middle as long as they maintain their great wing depth.
And like I said before they don't NEED to move anyone other than Fleury.
Realistically.We wouldn't trade/offer Caufield for TuchAs I said...many teams would be bidding driving up the price. Vegas tight against the cap will want back cheap ELC players eho can play in the nhl.

I think value would be fair. Having Gallagher + Caufield as your top RW is not ideal.Realistically.We wouldn't trade/offer Caufield for Tuch
I don't see a crazy high ceiling for a totally unproven Caufield.I think value would be fair. Having Gallagher + Caufield as your top RW is not ideal.
Of course, Caufield has crazy high ceiling.... But it is still a boom or bust prospect.
Cap space and a great return?
They did very well without him while he was injured. They have great depth on the wings... He's an attractive piece.
If everyone values Caufield that much;
Caufield for Tuch, one for one? Ok value-wise?
I just think Vegas would like a guy that can step into the line-up for cheap if they trade him.
Vegas aren't trading Tuch.He is the exact player Bergevin is looking for:
Big, right shot, still young. Signed long term.
Could see him Vegas having to trade him given their salary situation next year, especially knowing the Lehner situation and the fact they'll probably have to retain on any deal involving Fleury.
Something around this year first (#16) + prospects or a cheap roster players? Maybe a cheapish RFA they like? Mete?
What would be faire value?
Zero interest in trading Caufield for Tuch. Caufield has way more upside and potential to be a great scorer in the NHL. I'll take my chances and hang onto him thank you.I think value would be fair. Having Gallagher + Caufield as your top RW is not ideal.
Of course, Caufield has crazy high ceiling.... But it is still a boom or bust prospect.
The fact that he's on such a great contract is one of the reasons I think Vegas won't move him
