Montreal Canadiens and prospect Luke Tuch are working on an entry-level contract, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports.
Tuch just finished his fourth season with Boston University who were eliminated in the Frozen Four by Denver University who went on to win the NCAA championship.
The 22-year-old had 10 goals and 30 points this season. Tuch was selected 47th overall by the Canadiens at the 2020 draft.
According to Sportsnet’s Jason Bukala, Tuch is a big-body forward who is hard to handle from the hash marks down in the offensive zone. He’s a sound skater who projects to be quick and fast enough for the NHL game, and he is being used in all situations at Boston University.
On the power play he stations himself around the crease as a bumper and to create screens. On the penalty kill he does a nice job of fronting the play and getting in shooting lanes. Tuch isn’t a deceptive player with the puck on his stick. He doesn’t produce much off the rush or direct a ton of plays to the net.
