People are making Stecher out to be a bigger loss than he actually was it’s getting pretty ridiculous.

Well, here's the deal. It's about the compete level. The work ethic. The dedication and determination to the sport.
Sure, he wasn't the biggest guy/threat out there. But he did not get pushed around...low base of support meant his stance could keep him in the battle. A big team, pfffft. The harder they fall.
Love Stech...wish him well. He wasn't irreplaceable by any means. But he had heart and this was his team. -
He worked hard, he's a BC guy, he loved being a Canuck, and he's easy to root for. No surprise fans got attached. But yeah, as a player he's pretty replaceable.
That's hockey, rare is the player who never moves on from their team. It's why having the twins their entire careers was so special. It's why I'm hoping Edler wears our colours until he retires, after hitting 1k games. Most teams only have a few players like that.
You've gotta enjoy players while you have em on your team, because in the world of pro sports it's unlikely they'll be yours forever.
