McKenzie: Troy Stecher Available actively in trade talks.

[ginner classic]

The Benning Bros are fast to denigrate anyone Jim might trade or has traded. Stecher is better than Myers ffs. Dimwit doesn't get nuance so I have no doubt we will add assets to Stecher to acquire a player like Barrie who we will re-sign before he plays a game.

Stecher is to Barrie what Bonino was to Sutter, what Kassian was to Prust.

Bring on the shitty trades....Canuck nation just eats em up.

 

[ginner classic]

To move Stecher for a pick or a prospect after trading for Toffoli to make a push for the playoffs makes no sense. I’m not really on board to move him, he’s pretty underrated. If we lose him in the summer because of the cap that’s one thing, but to move him for picks now when we’re going for the playoffs makes no sense.

Oh I wish it would be just picks. We'll ADD picks to get a worse player on a worse contract.

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

As someone who has watched many Oilers games, I respectfully disagree with that one.

Who does he bump?

He doesn't bump Larsson or Bear and I don't think he'd supplant Benning either, maybe if he was a lefty.

 

[DanM]

Well, that too.

Barrie just never fit in here. He has had a lot of good years in Col and is not as bad as this year makes him out to be.

Lol why are you getting angry about something that hasn’t even happened?

Also, contracts aside, Myers is better than Stetcher.

It'd have to be for an upgrade on defence. Ideally somebody with a bit more size. Otherwise, i don't really see why you'd be moving a depth D piece from a position where the Canucks already aren't stupendously deep.

Simmonds for Stecher seems fair, no?

Not like particulary interested on him as he's just another small dman which Devils have had plenty, but wouldnt hate it.

Stecher is not worth Simmonds.

Simmonds is not worth stetcher.

Simmonds is not worth stetcher.

Stecher for Barrie straight up.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Why would Toronto do that, they could get much more from atleast half the teams in the league.

Boeser/Stecher

 

[hullsy47]

I wonder if Toronto has interest because he’s a guy they could afford longterm opposed to Barrie who’s certainly gone at seasons end?

He any better than sandin is right now
Barrie isnt much better than sandin right now
Toronto has a beauty

 

[Thorvat]

I don't know about this Troy Stecher kid but Tony Stretcher is one heck of a defenseman

,
You mean this guy. He's a beauty!

 

[wetcoast]

I like Stecher, he plays hard even with him being smaller he’s got a lot of fight in him, doesn’t back down or shy away.

I like Troy a lot as well but I really wonder if he has any more value than say Ben Hutton?

For all Canuck hopeful fans can you really see a rival GM trying to sell Stecher as the missing piece for a SC run?

I don't think we should move Stecher unless he's part of a package brining a better RHD with term back to us. For example, he we traded for Dumba and Stecher was a piece going back to Minny then ok fine it makes sense but otherwise it's a no. I really like Stecher as a bottom pair D for 2 reasons:

1) He can move up and down the lineup. He's played significant time with Edler and that pair doesn't miss a beat. Looks just as comfortable in top 4 minutes with Edler has he does on the bottom pair with Fantenberg.

2) He's not one of those bottom pair old school, no skill, "big tuff" D men who cant actually play hockey. Stecher can play, he can make a pass, he can skate. Take Jordie Benn for example. He's one of those terrible bottom pair D who will remain in the league because he has the perception of being tough to play against or having "experience." I'll take Troy over a guy like that any day.

Boeser/Stecher

Lol. We’re not trading Boeser, especially for that...

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Stecher is not worth Simmonds.

Wrong. Stetcher is more valuable then Simmonds. Easily, Simmonds is nothing more than a 3rd liner at this point.

 

[Luck 6]

Who does he bump?

He doesn't bump Larsson or Bear and I don't think he'd supplant Benning either, maybe if he was a lefty.

I think he bumps Benning quite easily, handedness not withstanding.

 

[M2Beezy]

Stecher for Barrie straight up.

No way Jose

I kind of see your point, I like Stech and would like him to stay but management might want to try and make some room on D for Tryamkin or give Rafferty some playing time as well.

He plays hard, not sure what kind of deal he wants or will get in the summer but due to our cap situation we have to get creative and JB has to move out some overpaid players and Sven who I wish was playing where LE has been gifted a spot....but I digress!

Canucks should be looking to move on from these players in the summer: Sutter, LE, Roussel(maybe), Sven (since he's exhiled) Those players make up around 17m, minus Rous and thats 14m. 14m we could really use plus Spooner is off the books so that adds a bit plus, who knows what cap will be next year...hopefully up by 2m or more

 

[VanillaCoke]

He's not even that. He'd be an okay 3rd liner if he could skate, but he cannot.

 

[lakai17]

He's too small and soft.

Which posts are you referring to?

 

[Smif]

Any idea what he's looking to get re-signed for?
