Alex Tuch is no longer an option for the Boston Bruins after being traded to the Washington Capitals. Tuch has signed an eight-year contract with a $10.5 million AAV. The Bruins had hoped to add Tuch as a scorer for their top six, especially as he previously drew connections to the team. The Capitals recently acquired Jordan Kyrou, indicating their pursuit of enhancements for their roster. With Tuch's high cap hit and many years locked in, the Bruins may find it challenging to replace his impact on the free agent market starting July 1.
