Capitals land Tuch to boost scoring punch

The Washington Capitals acquired forward Alex Tuch from the Buffalo Sabres for a 2027 third-round pick (originally from San Jose) and forward David Kampf, after Buffalo signed Tuch to an eight-year, $84 million extension with a $10.5 million AAV. The 30-year-old winger, coming off back-to-back 30-goal seasons (33 goals, 66 points in 79 games), provides Washington with size, two-way reliability, leadership and continued scoring from the forward group.

Hawks Bet on Byram as Contract Talks Ignite, Knies Price Tag Buzz, and Tuch Trade Shakes NHL

Chicago Blackhawks news centers on Bowen Byram entering the final year of his contract with buzz around a long‑term extension (likely four to seven years and roughly $10–13 million AAV, per various insiders). The piece also notes speculation over Matthew Knies’ price and Hawks’ potential involvement, the sign‑and‑trade moving Alex Tuch from Buffalo to the Washington Capitals for David Kampf (Tuch on an eight‑year deal at a $10.5M cap hit), plus continued trade chatter around other teams (e.g., Nashville‑Colorado). In college/CHL moves, Landon DuPont will join Michigan, a CHL four‑year signing window takes effect, and no Blackhawks prospects made the CHL All‑Star teams. The Rockford IceHogs added goalie Thomas Gale as the new AHL season approaches; overall, a flurry of draft and roster moves keeps the Hawks in the center of NHL gossip.

Sabres trade Tuch to Capitals for Kampf and 2027 third-round pick

The Buffalo Sabres traded forward Alex Tuch to the Washington Capitals in exchange for forward David Kampf and a 2027 third-round pick (originally San Jose’s). Kampf, 31, is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 after a 6-point season split between Vancouver and Washington, while Tuch, 30, is also slated to hit free agency; Sabres GM Jarmo Kekäläinen indicated re-signing Tuch wasn’t expected, making this a sign-and-trade that ends Tuch’s five-season run in Buffalo (begun after they acquired him from Vegas in 2021).

Sabres Push Forward: Ruff Re-signs, Tuch’s Future in Question After Breakout Season

Buffalo’s 2025-26 playoff run ended in a Game 7 loss to Montreal, but the Sabres earned their first playoff berth in 14 years and finished with a franchise-best stretch after Jan 1. Head coach Lindy Ruff earned a two-year extension, while the club weighs re-signing pending UFA Alex Tuch amid about $12.9M in cap space and key offseason decisions on young players like Benson, Byram and Krebs, all as injuries and playoff miscues shape the plan for next season.

Sabres Go All-In at Deadline, Keeping Alex Tuch

Buffalo Sabres are pushing for their first playoff berth since 2011 and won’t deal star winger Alex Tuch at the March 6 deadline, opting to add depth instead, as Elliotte Friedman notes. General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen is known for aggressive deadline moves, and while Tuch’s extension talks center around the high end of the market, the club believes keeping him through the deadline preserves its competitive window; if Tuch hits free agency, Buffalo would recalibrate cap space to re-sign RFAs like Zach Benson and pursue affordable upgrades.
