Alex Tuch’s teammates waste no time sticking him with the tab

The lucrative new contract extension Alex Tuch signed with the Golden Knights on Friday won’t officially kick in until next season.

That didn’t excuse him from picking up the dinner check for his teammates hours after the deal was done.

“Yeah, I paid for dinner last night,” the 22-year-old said Saturday before the Knights hosted the Ducks at T-Mobile Arena. “They kindly passed me the check. I’ve definitely been getting razzed and I expect nothing less.”

Friday’s dinner was with Shea Theodore, Cody Eakin and their significant others. Tuch will still have to pick up the tab for a team dinner at some point, but he expects to allow his financial adviser to handle most of the newfound wealth from his seven-year, $33.
