Confirmed Trade: [EDM/ARI] Troy Stecher and 2024 7th round pick for 2027 4th round pick

[AZviaNJ]

He's better than Dumba. Bill's ask for Dumba is a 1st. Therefore Stecher should be worth a 1st and a 2nd.

I'm being cheeky. He's good though. You won't be disappointed.

Oilers don't have their '24 1st, so let's say Stetcher for Bouchard (who was a 1st)...we're in giving mood so Edm can keep the 2nd.

You're right, Stetcher is quality bottom pair guy.....Edm won't be disappointed.

Good news is that no one in the west is adding significant pieces so we should be fine... Oh wait.

Do you ever get tired of posting this? Why not just wait and see what happens?

It's a depth addition to cover for eventual injuries.

 

[Cup or Bust]

Not bad for a 6th, 7th d-man. I always liked liked him since he was on the Canucks. Nice low key acquisition. Feisty smaller d-man that plays hard.

[Rowlet]

Good for Tony Stretcher

He's come a long way

 

[CycloneSweep]

So we are hellbent on Cody Ceci in our top 4 and playing big minutes with Nurse. What could go wrong? Oh wait.. VD might replace him.

We also needed a 7th d, doesn't mean we are done. If we upgrade on Ceci, Ceci would be leaving...which means we still would need a Stecher.

It’s a bit rich for a #7 but not a terrible depth pick up.

Holland didn’t have much to work with asset wise but has done good with 3 depth players

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

can never have too much depth on D going into the playoffs

don't mind it at all

 

[Bounces R Way]

It's Troy ya Boi

pretty solid 3rd pairing guy, plays with a lot of heart.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Good depth insurance pickup

 

[Bitz and Bites]

I remember Stetcher being good in the bubble playoffs and was hoping to have him back. Good pickup for the Oil.

Stecher has this figured out. Fall/Winter in AZ then Spring/Summer in CGY/EDM.

Look at how the east loaded up last year , it was way crazier but then Boston just lost in the first or whatever

 

[ElysiumAB]

So if he's ever injured the people hauling him off the ice will be Stecher bearers?

No.

 

[57special]

Doesn't move the needle at all. Why bother?

 

[LTIR]

Have we run out of available top 4 D and we're just going to be down to these guys?

No, Holland just doesn't believe Oilers need a top 4 D

 

[KCC]

Doesn't move the needle at all. Why bother?

You need depth especially on defense come playoff time.

 

[DJJones]

2027 4th, thats a long ways away

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Total nothing player. Wastes a draft pick to have a veteran body or something.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Surprised he cost a 4th but it's not a bad pickup for Edmonton.

Doesn't really fit in all that well though. Will be interesting to see how he acclimates.

 

[rt]

Next deadline, Arizona will trade him to Winnipeg for a 5th.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Total nothing player. Wastes a draft pick to have a veteran body or something.

Until you need a veteran body in the lineup due to illness/injury/suspension or would a AHL call up be better? We know it wouldn’t be and you probably know that too.

 

[BudBundy]

Plan the parade! lol. Ok. Decent 7th/8th depth D who shoots right. I also had a fondness for him because of his rambunctious style but I don’t really want a guy that small on the ice in the playoffs unless they provide ++ offence. A 4th is pretty pricey for him to boot. Oh well. Not a bad move but doesn’t move the needle much either.

 

[Czechboy]

Look at how the east loaded up last year , it was way crazier but then Boston just lost in the first or whatever

In fairness, that is my hope for LV... they can't find the chemistry quick enough.lol Otherwise their Round 1 lineup will be brutal.

 

[Rubi]

Stretcher is a decent bottom pairing dman.
