Tuch is the softest 6'4" 230 lb player I've ever seen

Getting a concussion from an elbow to the face makes him soft?

 

[Minnesota]

I’d trade any Wild player not named Dumba for Tuch straight-up.

52 points in 74 games as a 22 year old... I can only dream of one of our young players having a season like that.

Not Minnesota's fault that they can't develop players like that. It's on the players and them not wanting it.

Um, we did develop Tuch

I didn't know he suited up for the Wild? I thought he played a season in the AHL and that was it?

Oh wait, he did. 6 games.

He was developed in the Wild system, going to Wild development camps, played in the Wild's AHL affiliate, making his NHL debut with the Wild, before being traded and became an immediate fulltime NHL player in Vegas.

Obviously Vegas undid, in a matter of days, the damage that the Wild inflicted to his development over a period of years.

Did he go to any of the Wild development camps? I thought due to college, he couldn't go to any of the camps?

 

[Bazeek]

Considering the number of times this got posted, I'll go with "yes."

Was that a development camp or was that training camp?

 

[TaLoN]

Was that a development camp or was that training camp?

It was development camp. I was there when it happened. Notice the video title? Wild Development Camp Scrimmage? Date 7-13-15.

College players can go to development camps, they just have to buy their own plane ticket to get there.

Okay.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think it was just basically Lucia that never attended, in regards to the college prospects.

 

[TaLoN]

The Wild usually invite a few local college guys who went undrafted every year too.

Lucia, I thought Greenway skipped a few, McBain did as well. Belpedio? Can't remember on him. Seeler?

Greenway was on the 2015, 2016 and 2017 camp rosters.

Beldpedio was on the 2015 and 2016 camp rosters.

McBain was on the 2018 and 2019 camp rosters.

Seeler was on the 2011, 2012 and 2013 camp rosters.

Granlund on the 4th line tonight for the Preds

There's a very interesting article on the Bufuglien situation in relation to his suspension, IR/LTIR, and his cap hit. It's all actually pretty complex as this type of thing is unprecedented.

Paywall.
Small details and big decisions will determine the Jets'...

 

[57special]

Watching BOS MTL. Rask and Price have let in a lot of bad goals.

 

[TaLoN]

Ok,we know how bad the Wild are 3 on 3 in OT... Look at how the Canucks lost tonight!

Did the Nuks know they could have 3 skaters on the ice?

 

[TaLoN]

Did the Nuks know they could have 3 skaters on the ice?

They did... two of them crashed into each other, which in turn impeded the path of the 3rd who was also deep.

Obviously Vegas undid, in a matter of days, the damage that the Wild inflicted to his development over a period of years.

I mean...first off, development comes long before a guy suits up in the NHL. USNTDP is called that for a reason. He also played for one of the best coaches in hockey in college. Not sure how much learning goes on playing for a terrible AHL team but if the Wild were so confident in their development skills, they probably shouldn't have jettisoned a potential 60 point power forward on an ELC in exchange for a 3rd round pick. Rather, it seems that his brief stint in the NHL made him look unready. Which was wrong. Again.

Like I said, a matter of days. So impressive.
