These are the comments from my Coyotes fan friend on the guy. "he's great at gapping up on the rush and stays with his assignments on the cycle" "good at digging pucks out and clearing the zone" "maybe i'm just a homer and see him more favorable than he really is but he's been one of the better defenders here in the last 2 seasons" He feels like he is better than Ceci, but also admitted he's never liked Ceci much. I don't think this is a bad trade. It may not end up doing anything, or it may end up being a great stopgap for an injury.

I was actually thinking of Stecher.. he's very mobile, and plays a hard game, decent skill as well.

Here's his move for the gold medal winning OT goal vs. Russia in the 2021 world championships for Team Canada.. he's #70.. set up by Mangiapane.. sick move by Stecher.. guy has some skill.. maybe analytics at play here?

I hated him when he was with the Canucks.. so there's that..

Here's a recent one as a Coyote.. can you see any Oiler D-men making that move at that speed?

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
