Ossi Vaananen Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Full article: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/31-thoughts-joe-thornton-toronto-maple-leafs-kyle-dubas/ Canucks tidbits: Quote 6. The Maple Leafs made it clear they weren’t trading Tyson Barrie unless they received two things: a good-enough replacement to keep them in playoff position until currently injured reinforcements arrived, and a sweetener for the future. They would have taken Troy Stecher, but the Canucks didn’t have the picks and made it very clear certain prospects were not available. Ergo, no match. Toronto was also looking for more of a Kevin Shattenkirk circa 2017 return than, say, a third-rounder. That’s right out of the Brian Burke school of managing: don’t make a trade for less than you want, because everyone knows you’ll eventually cave. 7. Very, very impressed with the way Stecher handled things. Strong performances amidst the rumours. Told reporters that, as a B.C. lad, he wants to be a Canuck and then walked the walk. “I had a friend send me a fake tweet the other day and it scared me a bit,” he said. “It was a fake account, a burner account, and he fell for it.” The Canucks lost Ben Hutton last season because they couldn’t handle his qualifying offer and that could happen with Stecher in June. If he plays this way, he won’t need to worry. Canucks shopped Stecher for Barrie, concerned they won't be able to qualify him. I'm glad we walked, it seems there's certain prospects Benning absolutely won't part with. Did Madden not make that cut? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If Stecher is willing to sign at/close to Benn money, I'd welcome him back with open arms and move Benn this summer. Problem with that is that he's likely worth closer to $2.5-$3m on the open market. That or Tanev has to not be re-signed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coconuts Posted February 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I said it Monday and I'll say it again, the biggest winners of the deadline were Troy and Tony Stecher. He'll get to finish the season as a Canuck, chasing the playoffs while surrounded by his friends, teammates, and family. If he does end up going somewhere else it'll be in the offseason and he'll have more time to move, settle, and process. There's something to be said for having hometown guys who genuinely want to be here. Not ever BC player does.

I'm glad we walked, it seems there's certain prospects Benning absolutely won't part with. Did Madden not make that cut? Clearly not, nor should he. We have enough prospects ahead of him on the depth chart and we were in a position to deal one to get some reinforcements. Really good trade. Also kind of glad we didn't get Barrie. We have an offensive stud in Hughes and Stecher is a lot better defensively than Barrie which will help more in the playoffs. We have Myers as well as Edler who are all puck moving Dmen. No need for Barrie. Hope we don't go after him this summer either - no cap anyways. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Devron Posted February 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2020 Pretty sure Benning took calls on Stecher, didn’t “shop” him At least that what I made out of the post deadline interview.

I'm also wondering if maybe management was worried about losing him for nothing. A guy of his size might just decide to stick in school a while longer and end up as a FA.

We will likely sign him for the qualifying offer price, which is around 2.3 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is true, he also has arbitration rights that would likely land him in the fair market prices I was referring to (or potentially, even higher). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played closer to 2nd pair minutes both lately (as the season ramps up to playoffs) and historically. He'd get more than his QO in arb.

JM_ Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I could see Troy signing something like a 10 mil total, 4 year deal to be able to stay home and be part of the run. I love Tanev, but this years an anomaly and he won't age like wine. Can a right side of Myers, Stecher and Rafferty really be a competitive right side..... I think we get a chance to find out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say. The minimum QO would be 15% above what he's making now, roughly 2.67m. It's not expensive but do we want that in a 3rd pairing guy? I also think Troy could look at how Hutton's situation was handled, in as much as he had to wait most of the summer to sign with a different team for half of what he was making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the whole thing with the rumours and the TDL. Media was saying JB was shopping Stecher because he obviously can’t have other Ben Hutton situation in the minds of some. Would it make you feel better if I didn’t have an opinion and just said Great Post PS There’s some autocorrect in there if you’d like to pick away Edited February 26, 2020 by Devron44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tanev decides to not re-sign with Vancouver, Benning will be sure to grab a right handed defenseman either through trade or free agency that will compliment Hughes as well or better than Tanev has. It wouldn't hurt to give Quinn a fairly aggressive d-partner who'll punish douches like Domi for taking liberties. When Quinn was slammed to the ice by Domi, watching Tanev skate away wasn't good from an optics point of view. 1 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
