Alex Tuch’s Shoulder Surgery Mystery

The trade is complete!! After months of waiting, speculating, and false alarms, the Buffalo Sabres finally completed the difficult transaction of moving former franchise savior Jack Eichel.

The details of the trade can be found here, but one of the main pieces that come back to Buffalo is RW Alex Tuch who is rehabbing through a shoulder injury that required surgery. GM Kevyn Adams ships off Eichel and receives what could be perceived as damaged goods in Tuch.

While the details of Eichel’s expected surgery are well-known along with the risks, virtually nothing is known regarding the specifics of Tuch’s surgery and recovery as he heads east.
