Like last year when posters were saying no way the Habs sign Struble because he has 1 goal, I kept saying they wouls sign him. also said while I never believed in his offensive upside that he would play in the NHL due his power game. I've said last year that Tuch would be signed because he's to me someone who could be a better Pezzetta so to me there's no doubt he 100% plays in the NHL as guys his size and speed that play solid defensively and a strong physical game are going to be of interest to GMs.
But it's the same every time we get into this situation. The boo-hoos over losing Jake Evans because he for sure wasn't going to sign with us so he could sign with the leafs.
There was no way Jordan Harris was signing according to several posters, as he was clearly going to sign with boston.
Then we heard Tuch won't sign with us so he can join his brother and sign with the sabers when they have a ton of young forwards.
Though oddly enough if there's one guy I would pick not to sign with us if they offered him a contract is Pitlick, I don't know how happy is brother is with us but I kind of wondered if he would look to sign closer to home in Minny. I do wonder if he's had a good enough of a season to use the loophole. Just wild speculation though, haven't heard any talk about his plans on college hockey message boards.
