ALEX TUCH - Right Winger - 23 - $4.75MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2026-2027
LAST UPDATED 6/20/19
Former GM George McPhee’s prize from Minnesota in exchange for not claiming Matt Dumba in the expansion draft, Alex Tuch has cemented himself as a star power forward in Vegas and a core part of Vegas’ long-term future. Tuch plays a fast, hard-nosed style of hockey, with remarkable skating ability for someone his size. He doesn’t have elite edgework, but he can take advantage of the space he’s given and rush up the ice and move the puck incredibly well. He’s effective as a screener, passer, and mid-range shooter, and he’s built to be a playoff performer. He’ll never score 50 or win a Hart trophy, but his leadership, powerful, two way style, and electric offensive talent make him one of the most exciting young power forwards in the NHL. At this point, he’s not quite an established, clear-cut first line winger, but every sign points to him becoming that, and even if something changes and his development stalls, Tuch will still be the electric, 2nd line two-way power forward he is today.
