The Buffalo Sabres are reportedly negotiating a new contract with forward Alex Tuch as he nears free agency. With the Stanley Cup over, the focus shifts to offseason plans. Tuch's performance in the recent playoffs, where he scored no points in seven games, may impact contract discussions. The Sabres have limited cap space and need to address several restricted free agents, complicating Tuch's situation further. With around $12 million in cap space, Buffalo aims to balance Tuch's contract alongside those of other players such as Zach Benson and Peyton Krebs.
