NHL Rumors: Tuch Leak, Skinner and McDavid Beef, Maple Leafs and Andersson

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, former Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams has leaked the ask from pending UFA forward Alex Tuch. Meanwhile, are the Toronto Maple Leafs back in the running for Rasmus Andersson? Finally, the game on Tuesday between the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins proved that any narrative suggesting a beef existed between Connor McDavid and Stuart Skinner was inaccurate.

Kevyn Adams Leaks Alex Tuch Contract Ask

Darren Dreger revealed on TSN OverDrive Tuesday that former Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams shared what pending UFA forward Alex Tuch is asking for on a contract extension. It’s rare for a GM to share that kind of detail, and several sources suggested this was a petty response to being let go by the organization this week.

Dreger reports that Adams revealed Tuch wants just above what Adrian Kempe is making in Los Angeles, which means he’s seeking in excess of $10.625 million per season.
