JM_ Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 hmm... doesn't help keep Stechers price down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Well, so much for hoping for 1.5 from Stecher unless he takes that fabled hometown discount. Lol. Walker isn't much better, if you can even argue that he is better than Stech. He ate more minutes and scored more points. But does Walker do that on a good team? Probably not. 2mil for Stech in all likelihood. That's probably best case scenario with this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Good signing by GM Blake, he stopped someone who was sure to walk from the LA Kings... Edited September 12, 2020 by Dazzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stecher filed last time but they were able to settle before the hearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be out of the Canucks' hands if they qualify him. It's less than the walk-away amount. Lots of teams are going to have to decide whether they wish to risk arbitration or not. The deadline to qualify RFAs is the 6th (draft day). The deadline for players to file for arbitration is the 10th - the day after the opening of free agency.

The "asset management" crowd will freak out and pull a Corrado bitch fest, but it would tell Troy what his market value is and if there's room left here after Marky, Toffoii and Tanev re-up then he can decide what he wants. I just can't see Stech getting offers over 2 mil this offseason due to the covid losses/cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see Stech getting offers over 2 mil this offseason due to the covid losses/cap. Yea, in a normal year I could see Troy having earned a 9M over 3 year deal but with COVID, of all players, I could see him taking a hometown discount. 5.2-5.5 over two years or 8-8.1 over 3 seems reasonable with everything going on, and still gives him a decent raise in real dollars.

I think the best he gets offered, if he does get an offer from us which I'm not sure he will tbh, would be ~2 mil for one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know - he was given 2.3M last time and I think he's only improved, esp. showing another gear at times in the playoffs. Cap/covid make things unpredictable for sure - but my money is with a 2.5-275 a year deal at minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also going to be a lot of serviceable bottom pairing guys on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Benning will offer him a slight raise out of respect but really the market has never been so unpredictable. There are some UFAs I would definitely have interest in on the bottom pairing that may sign in a similar range: Zach Bogosian, Mark Pysyk, maybe Dylan DeMelo. So early to tell though, esp. if Benning brings back any D with a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
