Alex Tuch, RW
Buffalo Bills Equivalent: Devin Singletary, RB
While Tuch did not start his career with the Buffalo Sabres as Singletary started his with the Bills, and despite Tuch’s towering 6’4 frame compared to the 5’7 Singletary, the two players are linked through adversity. Last season, Tuch proved he is capable of playing on the top scoring lines after having been a middle six player throughout his time in Vegas.
Meanwhile, Singletary, despite putting up remarkable numbers in the Bills backfield, has never had the opportunity to be the featured back. Because of this, Singletary has never recorded over 200 carries nor has he gained 1,060 rushing yards in a season despite his career 4.7 yards per carry.
In 2022-23, I am looking for Tuch to easily score a career-high in points, roughly 60-65, while Singletary hits the 1,060 rushing yards mark. When their respective seasons end, expect both Tuch and Singletary to be either franchise cornerstones or, at worst, one rung below.
