Capitals acquiring Alex Tuch in sign-and-trade with Sabres
from Sportsnet,
The Washington Capitals are acquiring the forward in a sign-and-trade with the Buffalo Sabres , Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Wednesday.
Tuch will sign an eight-year, $84-million contract with Washington, Friedman reported. It is unclear what the Sabres are getting in return.
The addition of Tuch would mark the second major move up front in as many days for the Capitals, who traded for St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou on Tuesday.
Sabres GM Jarmo Kekalainen indicated earlier Wednesday that Tuch would be moving on. The sign-and-trade represents the second major departure from Buffalo this week after the team sent defenceman Bowen Byram to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday in a deal for the fourth-overall pick in Friday’s draft.
