Alex Tuch Joins Capitals in Sign-And-Trade Deal
The Washington Capitals have acquired winger Alex Tuch in a sign-and-trade deal with the Buffalo Sabres, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. The Sabres received a 2026 third-round draft pick in 2026 and forward David Kampf in return for Tuch, who inked an eight-year, $84 million contract. Tuch was among the best unrestricted free agents on the market this offseason. He had a productive five-year stint with the Sabres, recording 66 points (33 goals, 33 assists) in 79 games in 2025-26. Washington also acquired Jordan Kyrou (knee) from the St. Louis Blues this week, reshaping its offense after missing the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
