The Instigator Podcast 10.24 - Alex Tuch Appreciation Hour

The main focus of this week's show is Alex Tuch and the impressive impact he's had since arriving in Buffalo. We talk about the underlying numbers he's carrying, the incredible point production and simply how good he's looked taking a step up in the lineup and helping to anchor Buffalo's top line. We add some thoughts about how Tuch's emergence can help fuel the next moves the Sabres make in terms of free agent or trade acquisitions, and how he's become a cornerstone of the young core they're building with. Prior to that, we touch on the trade between the Montreal Canadians and Calgary Flames that saw Tyler Toffoli head to Alberta. We discuss Jack Eichel's impending return and the disappointment in not seeing Devon Levi receive any action for Team Canada at the 2022 Olympic Games.
