Could Alex Tuch Be A Max Contract Candidate?

With the exception of the four-year, $20 million extension of center Ryan McLeod on July 1, the Buffalo Sabres approach to contracts this summer has been basically ‘wait and see’. GM Kevyn Adams opted to trade JJ Peterka to Utah, rather than paying him on a long-term deal, and the club extended winger Jack Quinn, signed free agent forward Justin Danforth, signed defensemen Bowen Byram, Conor Timmins, and free agent goalie Alex Lyon on two-year deals.
