Buffalo Sabres Rumors

Recent reports suggest that former Buffalo Sabres GM Kevyn Adams might have offered Alex Tuch a contract similar to Tage Thompson’s extension. Elliotte Friedman mentioned on the Fan Hockey Show that while unconfirmed, this was his understanding of the proposed deal for Tuch, though it likely wasn’t enough to secure it.

Montreal Canadiens Rumors

According to Nick Kypreos on Sportsnet, a potential trade sending St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington to the Montreal Canadiens is considered a long shot. While Edmonton was previously a candidate, they seem to have addressed their goaltending needs with the Tristan Jarry trade.

Rumores de la NHL: Sabres, Canadiens y Análisis de Niveles de Traspasos en la Fecha Límite

Rumores de los Buffalo Sabres

Informes recientes sugieren que el ex Gerente General de los Buffalo Sabres, Kevyn Adams, pudo haber ofrecido a Alex Tuch un contrato similar a la extensión de Tage Thompson. Elliotte Friedman mencionó en el Fan Hockey Show que, aunque no está confirmado, esta era su impresión del acuerdo propuesto para Tuch, aunque probablemente no fue suficiente para cerrarlo.

Rumores de los Montreal Canadiens

Según Nick Kypreos de Sportsnet, un posible traspaso del portero de los St. Louis Blues, Jordan Binnington, a los Montreal Canadiens se considera una posibilidad remota. Aunque Edmonton fue un candidato anterior, parece que han resuelto sus necesidades de portería con el traspaso de Tristan Jarry.
