-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Quote Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed defenceman Troy Stecher to a two-year deal valued at 2.325M per year. "Troy Stecher is an important part of our team," said Benning. "He's a talented two-way defenceman who competes every shift. Troy has a willingness to always improve his game and is an example of a young player committed to being a professional." Stecher, 24, recorded one goal and 10 assists (1-10-11) over 68 games played in his second NHL season. He set career highs in penalty minutes (35), hits (110) and blocked shots (75). The defenceman's average time on ice (18:49) and 75 blocked shots each ranked 5th on the team. Stecher recorded a career-high 7 blocked shots in a single game on February 9th, 2018 against the Carolina Hurricanes. In his first NHL season, Stecher recorded 24 points (3-21-24) and was voted Canucks' Best Defenceman, receiving the Walter (Babe) Pratt Award. In 139 career NHL games over two seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, Stecher has collected 35 points (4-31-35) and 60 penalty minutes. A native of Richmond, British Columbia, Stecher was signed by the Canucks as a free agent on April 13, 2016. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-troy-stecher/c-299544262 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Would have been content if Stecher's new deal was similar to Hutton's. To get him for about $450K per year cheaper is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIC_CITY Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 More in line with what Hutton should have got a year ago. I feel like Stetcher is a safe bet outperform this contract. I approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Funny how Benning is very good at signing players at good rates who we already have but damn does he overpay in free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I've seen live, his hockey IQ is one of the highest in the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
