The Buffalo Sabres have a bad habit of trading elite NHL players and then watching them win a championship with their new team. If that story is retold, only this time with Alex Tuch helping lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a Stanley Cup, it would be the ultimate sin.
Adam Gretz of Bleacher Report listed the Leafs as one of the top five potential landing spots for Tuch, who's become the subject of trade rumors amid stalled talks about a contract extension amid the final year of his current deal with Buffalo.
Brian Bartlett, the 29-year-old winger's agent, recently told Irfaan Gaffar and David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period the sides have put extension discussions on the "back burner," though he noted both sides still remain interested in getting something done eventually.
