Friedman Adds Another Layer to the Alex Tuch Buzz

Elliotte Friedman’s latest update after the scouting combine adds fuel to a story that already had every front office squinting at the calendar. When a player of this caliber starts popping up in the trade chatter, the whole league starts doing the math twice. The Sabres may not be done with this conversation, and that is exactly what makes it worth watching.
