Others are quick to point out how Biega is our worst dman yet his numbers are pretty comparable to Stecher. The only difference is that Biega is a little older and there is that bias towards him because of that. I can't see Stecher making much improvement on his career 5 NHL goals in 3 seasons.

I'd never say Biega is our 'worst' defenseman, but he's also not the best, Edler and Tanev aside. I can't see the future so I'm not going to pretend to know how many goals Stecher will score, but that's merely one of many factors he'll be assessed on regardless.

Timråfan Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I actually think Pouliot has some skills I don't see in the others. If he can handle the stress(without Gudbranson) he can be quite classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Oh btw I added Schenn and Sautner to the list and removed Gudbranson he had 2 votes, forgot to check who the voters were my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chara had 6 goals in 231 games over his first 4 seasons. His 5th season he scored 10 goals in 75 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a mere 5'10", then you better be scoring more then 1 or 2 goals a year and have a better career plus/minus then -12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm saying Stech, but Hutton's in there too. Fatigue is breaking the team down and they're showing cracks. It depends how you're measuring "best". I miss Guddy...do feel he at least had the toughness element covered if and when we needed it. We have zero now in that department, so teams will take advantage of us in relation to that. The only "threat" we have is a wild, unpredictable Frenchman who can bring the crazy but is an agitator, not a real "fighter". Adding in: I do love Biega's hustle and grit.

Agree Deb we are seriously lacking toughness. Last night was a perfect example. Kassian was having his way with our guys and McDavid had free reign to skate where ever he wanted. Having Virt on the sidelines definitely doesn't help. I like Biega because he at least exhibits some sort of creativity from the back end and is as at least entertaining to watch.

Alflives Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 QUINN HUGHES, as soon as he steps on the ice in a Canuck's sweater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for whatever that is worth in today's NHL, that is the value he brings. yea what doesnt happen is the puck staying out of vancouvers net when he is on the ice lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverHabitant Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hutton?!? No way! Stecher is twice the defenceman. Just because Hutton improved on his abysmal 2017-18 doesn’t mean that he’s better then Stecher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
