Tuch is a power forward who has a good set of offensive tools and while none of his skating, shot or puck control skills are high-end, they’re all above average and allow him to affect the play in different ways. He relies on his speed and willingness to engage physically in his hunt for the puck in the offensive zone. His playmaking is quite solid, and he works the puck around the zone in the cycle, getting himself into the middle of the ice as he works off the boards. Where he struggles at times is when highly skilled players use their stick to pull the puck from the pile, he doesn’t always tie up their stick and at times gets left battling on the boards while the puck is being moved. He uses his strength and leverage to separate opponents from the puck and goes hard to the enemy net, which is where he’s most useful offensively. His frame is naturally big, and he shows an advanced understanding of how to use it both with and without the puck. He has a good shot but seems to fire it off into screens too often. He needs to adjust to defenders a bit better because his shot is a very solid weapon when it’s accurate. Defensively, his game is hit-or-miss and sometimes he gets lost chasing he puck carrier. When he applies pressure quickly, he is an effective player. The issues arise when he finds himself out of position because of his aggressive defending.
