Tuch spent most of the 2016-17 season with Iowa of the American Hockey League, but did get a six-game call-up from the Wild. However, he was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights at the NHL Expansion Draft on June 21, 2017, along with a conditional third-round draft pick for selecting Erik Haula.
The 6-foot-4, 222-pound forward began to blossom with Vegas, finishing with 37 points (15 goals, 22 assists) and showing the kind of net-front presence that's a sign there's more to come.
NOTES & TRANSACTIONS
- Hockey East All-Rookie Team (2015)
