Sabres Prepare to Part Ways With Local Hero Alex Tuch

Buffalo's about to trade away one of its own - Alex Tuch, a Baldwinsville native who represented the region with pride in a Sabres uniform. The organization has already signaled they're ready to move on, even as they acknowledge the emotional weight of letting a homegrown talent walk. This isn't a fire-sale move born of desperation, but rather a calculated decision about where the franchise is headed and what assets they need to get there.
