Stop the press!

Whata haul

 

[bedtime20]

ok

 

[Siludin]

A bit surprised just because it feels like LA has a never ending supply of young promising defensemen coming through their system. Maybe they are moving a prospect out for a bigger player and shoring up ahead of time?

 

[cjm502]

A pretty nothing trade, but getting anything for Stech is a bonus.

 

[golffuul]

As per Chris Johnston

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I wonder if he will drive to LA with his dog?

 

[lilidk]

It something

While I believe in the thought that an asset is better than no asset, this feels underwhelming. But a 7th is better than nothing I guess?

We could draft another Tyutyayev!, or...Draper...

[kliq]

Finally! Re-build OVER!

 

[golffuul]

I wonder who we are calling up to replace him?

 

[jfrank21]

For everyone freaking out about the lack of moves....

 

[Pavels Dog]

Stecher is just a Stecher, but a 7th round pick could literally become anything, even a Stecher.

 

[nhlisawesome]

Shake the team up it’s not working. One of Larkin Bertuzzi and Hronek better get moved for legit gamebreakers

It sounds like they've got a lot of injuries on the blueline.

Honestly I wasn't expecting anything for Stecher, so...

 

[GreatGordie9]

Stevie is far from being done.

I'm surprised he couldn't get a 5th or so.

A 7th isn't much different than "future considerations".

Agreed. It's one step away from a bag of pucks.

It's almost more like doing him a solid than making a trade. He gets to play on a team that looks playoff bound.

 

[Killerjas]

This screams like a trade done because Stecher does not want to resign in the summer and we rather have a 7th round pick then let him walk for nothing.
OR
Offload a contract to trade for a capdump?

 

[Hoog]

Stecher was a pretty cool dude, but not a very good hockey player this year. Glad we got more than a bag of pucks for him.

Well, it probably was a 5th until last night's game

IMO, Stecher is one of those guys that people tend to overrate cause they’re easy to root for. Stech has a great motor but he isnt good at anything. He’s just too weak to be consistently effective. A 7th for him is fine.
