Troy Stecher

I wonder the value for a guy like troy

consensus says a 3rd round pick

 

[Peter Griffin]

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?

No. They have interest because Barrie has been total ASS cheeks

 

[Peter Griffin]

No. They have interest because Barrie has been total ASS cheeks

Well, that too.

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.

 

[Merrrlin]

Barrie played a good game tonight, one of only a handful since joining the team.

Stetcher only realistic if we're moving him out, and I am not sure Dubas would be willing to make that move right now.

Lets make the deal than. Leafs need someone like that. I'm tried of Jake Gardiner 2.0

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

For some reason I always recall him being called Tory Stecher. Maybe it's the resemblance to another squirrelish d-man Tory Krug.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Stecher always looks like he’s on the verge of crying.

 

[Burnie97]

I don't know much about Stecher to be honest... NCAA sign right? Seems durable... rhd.. still young... room to grow... at a lower cap hit... could be a really good gamble.

Barrie and a 4th

For Stecher, a 3rd, and a b prospect.. maybe a bit better of a prospect? Am I way off here on either side... Leaf fan here by the way.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Not the guy I want playing with Rielly but he'd be a good piece, maybe he works with Muzzin, definitely with Sandin

 

[not a troll]

Stecher always looks like he’s on the verge of crying.

Which is totally fine if he is actually always on the verge of crying.

Interesting... wasn't this guy loved by Vancouver fans a couple years ago when he made the team out of camp? What's happened since?

Probably pretty close. Stecher is a decent #5 guy that has shown he can play in the top 4 at times. But with the Canucks’ salary situation they’ll likely have to choose between him and Tanev going forward. Considering it’s looking like Benning wants to make a push this year, upgrading from Stecher to Barrie for the remainder of this season would make sense from that POV.

 

[Luck 6]

We just can’t fit Stecher under the cap next season if we plan to re-sign Tanev. If we got rid of a guy like Benn, sure, but I have a feeling we’ll move Stecher for value.

Towards the end of last season, he was looking like a very good defenseman paired with Edler. This year the Myers signing and the emergence of Hughes has pushed him down the depth chart, so he hasn’t had an opportunity to truly shine.

With that being said, I don’t think we can afford Barrie either. My preference would be to move Stecher for a draft pick, or a 3 way trade where we ditch Eriksson and VANCOUVER / Toronto each kick in the picks to a third team. But if we’re doing that, we might as well make that move in the offseason unless we get some significant value coming back, and we know a guy like Tryamkin is coming in as a replacement.

Fair.

So Vancouver and Leaf fans can talk... good to know lol. I kid.

Anyway definitely makes sense... a number 5... maybe he pushes into a top 4 role... is he good enough for that?

Haven't seen him play enough.

I guess if you got a signed Barrie that would be a lot more in a trade at a reasonable price.

Rick Dhaliwal was suggesting that Stecher is entering a Ben Hutton scenario from last year. Fears that Stecher could be rewarded in arbitration a contract that they would be obligated to abide by but not want to pay, so they'd rather let him walk

Got worn down. Lost any ability to get any kind of shot through. Isn't strong enough to deal with forwards larger than Johnny Gaudreau. Gets targeted and can't usually handle it because the Canucks' D has been total ass the last couple of seasons. It's better now, but mainly just because of Hughes, who Stecher never plays with.

our D is bad and he often gets exposed, he can be a good bottom pairing guy who could fill in top 4 minutes with a steady partner if necessary, but he's very average and can make boneheaded plays. the Canucks only have 3.5 good defensemen and he's not one of them. the sentiment around him kind of reminds me of Bieksa, where he could be so much better but he'd need a steadying hand like Hamhuis and Mitchell were to Bieksa in their time here.

 

[Cogburn]

I'd only want to trade Stecher if we get a better RHD (as part of one trade or another).

I think a shutdown LHD should be a more pressing target.
