Nuckin Kingsly Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I hear ya AJ, the Hutton contract seemingly def tied their hands a bit. Here's hoping Troy has the year I'm expecting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked, “cellar dwellers” are not usually desirable for free agents, making bottom feeders pay even more. JB is not the only GM to “overpay” or make a mistake. There is an entire NHL full of teams that are the reason Free Agency is called “The Silly Season”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he's working out this off season I think he's on the right track. I'm a strong believer in keeping Hutton around as well. Not gonna receive much if anything if we trade him. Might as well see what we got for another year. Worst case Ontario, he has another year like last and we let him walk. Best case he resurrects his career and becomes the Hutton we all thought we'd see after his first year. Still young. I think it's a no brainer to hang onto him.

CrazyAL Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 3 hours ago, 48MPHSlapShot said: Awesome. Our hardest competing Dman. Hope he can find his offensive game again next season. He gets Edler PP minutes he puts up way better numbers, he's far more crafty on offense then Edler, better puck control, gets his shot through, faster to get back if he makes mistakes too, maybe I'm in the minority but makes no sense to me to have Edler in over him on the powerplay other then maybe the Sedins prefer Edler. If Hughes doesn't sign Stecher should be given a good look on the powerplay, not sure Green feels the same though he probably has Pouliot ahead of him in those situations.

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 As per usual, HF thinks this move is a ridiculous overpayment. Any excuse to have a moan about Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just people who don't understand how contracts are negotiated. Stecher played regularly with Edler last season and didn't look out of place. He's proving to be a very serviceable top 4 D-man. That costs more than league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Troy Stetcher, the Alexander Burrows of defense, nobody should piss and moan about this contract, if the rest of the guys played this big other teams wouldn't look forward to playing against us. Hope he solidifies himself as part of the next core before this contract is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Terrific! By the end of the contract you will have surpassed Tanev in trade rumors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Love this guy. Has Biega intensity with far more talent, no offense to Biega. Hopefully Chatfield can become something similar to Stecher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local kid who went undrafted and then went on to work his butt off in college. Was a key piece in North Dakota winning their first championship in 15 years. Then signs with his hometown Canucks and continues to work his butt off and prove he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I love Stech. Good term good $ for all. I know this sounds odd but I see him being our future Tanev. More offensive skill, less size. More a possession style, hi IQ and hard working guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Really like the way he plays. Uses the tools he has well. Lots of problems with the D but he is not one of them. Hopefully his offensive numbers come back up but even last year when he struggled to put up points he still had a lot of value in the way he gets and moves the puck up quickly and accurately.
