Just from viewing Troys play on UND this season, I'd have no problem saying Stech is more dynamic and evasive in the offensive zone than Hutt's. However Hutton is probably more well rounded obviously playing a full NHL season and learning first hand from the pro's. Stech has a different potential than Hutt's IMO. More pp/attack orientated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stecher is bigger then Subban and a better defensive player. However, not as dynamic as Subban offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he looks electric in the offensive zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Great way to help convince Boeser to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecken Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 “My dad used to have season tickets to the Canucks with his old company,” Stecher said in a phone interview Monday. “When I was a little kid I dreamed about playing for the Canucks.” We need more of this!

TheCerebral1 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 He's a decent puck mover and he was one of the better college undrafted talents available. So it's a good signing for the aspect that this team needs to get younger on the back end. Sign Boeser and convince Demko to come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a stud top pairing RHD and have needed one since Ehrhoff left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 10 hours ago, JamesB said: I am sure that the "plan" is for Stecher to start in Utica, just as that was the plan with Hutton. That is pretty much always the plan for Ds coming out of college. But if a guy is so good in Camp that he just can't be sent down, as with Hutton, then he has a chance to stick. But that is unlikely to happen two years in a row. Therefore, I doubt if signing Stecher has a big impact on what happens next year. But I agree that the blueline is getting crowded, especially now that the Canucks are apparently looking seriously at trying to keep Hammer, which I think they should do. Edler, Tanev and Hutton will all be on the team of course. Unless something very strange happens Tryamkin will also start with the team and Benning seems to think Sbisa is a keeper. (And, in fairness, Sbisa is a sold 3rd pairing guy who adds toughness to the team.) The Canucks apparently plan to give Larsen a shot with the big team and if Hammer is re-signed that takes us to 7 Ds. The Canucks plan to carry 8 guys but Pedan is waiver eligible and I don't think they want to expose him to waivers as he would get taken. I agree that means that Biega probably gets waived to Utica at the beginning of the season. I am pretty sure he will clear waivers and Benning has emphasized the need to have an extra D or two who can step in if needed. The other possibility is a trade. Pedan could probably be traded for a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick or for another prospect -- maybe one who is still waiver exempt. Personally I would rather keep Pedan and trade Sbisa as I think Pedan has a higher ceiling and is bigger, stronger and tougher, and is a better skater. Pedan is younger and has some rough edges, but he looks like a guy who could be valuable long term. Jimmy, I agree that Pedan might have a higher ceiling than Biega but he has had no where near the exposure to really judge. I do not think Biega would clear waivers. You think Hamhuis should be resigned. I don't agree as I see a real fight for TOI next year. The d-vets being Edler, Tanev, Hutton and Sbisa. That leaves a spot for Tryamkin, Pedan and Biega as a depth guy. Hamhuis resigned as a 3rd pairing does not make sense. On a rebuilding team it does not make sense. When I say this it is about term and money for Hamhuis who I suspect would want a contract that leds to his retirement. ie 3 -4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see Hammer here at a discount, and Pedan sent down and used for injuries/depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
