UPDATE: The Detroit #RedWings today acquired a 7th round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defenseman Troy Stecher.

I’m assuming this is for the Reign?

Blockbuster!

Doughty replacement?

For the Reign in the sense that some of the current roster players will go back to ONT soon. UFA player with NHL experience for depth.

 

[All The Kings Men]

Complete and total speculation on my part BUT ... if you want to know what his move means for the rest of the roster (IR, Ontario etc)

Watch very closely to see if any players are sent back to Ontario later today or tomorrow morning.

Frk and Wolanin were reassigned to Ontario today.

Tomorrow is the deadline (I believe) for players to be eligible to play in the AHL playoffs.

If that's our only deadline move, I'm fine. This is a time to sell vets for teams making runs - and we're real short on vets. If we want to do something more fancy with our prospects, wait until the offseason when the market isn't so bonkers.

 

[apocalypse]

Good trade.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Precursor move? We def. aren't short on offensive smallish RHD... the experience is nice of course but with Doughty/Roy/(Walker, RIP)/Durzi/Spence who's he knocking off?

I KNOW we aren't sending Durzi back for the Reign playoffs. Spence makes sense.

GREAT value though.

5'10" 180lbs.

He'll fit right in.

 

[redcard]

I assume this bumps Strand from the line-up

Maata-Durzi
Edler-Stetcher
Moverare-Spence
Strand

Once Doughty and Roy are back Stetcher is probably the #7, unless one of the RDs can switch over to the left.

the cup is ours?

 

[dman3474]

I liked Strand playing, he’s been doing ok (disclaimer, didn’t see yesterdays game) but hopefully it’s just for depth. Keep wolanin down and Stecher is the 7D? Or is he an upgrade to Strand?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Spence has played an average of 23 minutes in the last 5 games, Durzi something like 25. if this is meant to bump either of them out of the lineup, it's stupid.

Yet if it's to bump Strand out, who is like the only player left we have over 6 feet tall, I can accept it, but still kinda stupid. Who's gonna pk?

Dunno, it's pretty much a nothing move regardless.

Stetcher is a UFA this summer, given he only cost a 7th I would highly doubt there's any intention to re-sign him. Probably just hoping to get a couple games out of him and keep us in the playoff hunt.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'm so disappointed.

Troy Stretcher brings nothing new to the table; just more of the same. You think he's an upgrade over Durzi/Spence/Strand? I don't.

And I don't mean to be THAT person but.. size matters. We have a bunch of 5 foot 4 170lb D out there. All this does it take more time away from our youngsters.

That is correct.

Strand likely assigned to ONT tomorrow, his days are numbered when Bjornfot returns, reported he is close. Stecher and Elder were partners on D in Vancouver.

 

[LAKings88]

I like Stecher . Not a bad placeholder move. Helps get our younglings back down for their playoff run.

I didn't expect Blake to be so bold
