Awesome name - anyone with the name of Troy is good in my books though I may be biased. Didn’t really get a chance to see him enough but good depth signing.

Small sample I remember him being good with Nurse

Small but feisty and uber-smart puck moving D. Hope his recovery goes well, excellent depth to have and if he is healthy he could steal a spot

 

[oXo Cube]

Decent NHL upside for basically free.

Honestly surprised he signed this.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

An upgrade on Ceci.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

High IQ & Awareness, good depth signing.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Top notch, sincerely. I can't wait to see him settle in to a spot on this team.

 

[Shizuka]

Good value re-signing, his underlying numbers are quite good and he didn't really get much chance to get going. If they move out someone else maybe he can pair up with Nurse and hopefully stabilize his game..

 

[Oilhawks]

An upgrade on Ceci.

I think he might actually get a chance to prove that this time as well

 

[McShogun99]

I didn’t expect this at all.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Who’s doing all these signings?? And I don’t remember xmas occurring... *checks calendar* in July.

Came in to say the same thing

I'm happy to have him back but surprised he chose to come back

I guess he sees how weak our right side is now that Desharnais is gone

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Only six games with us because of the ankle surgery. But loved what I saw.

After Ceci and Kulak cost us in Game 7 (among other things), I'm more than happy to move on from one or both of them.

 

[Frank the Tank]

The middle of the playoffs was a terrible time for Stecher to get an ankle cyst. Would have loved to have him as an option when Ceci was struggling. It's good that he'll have more chances to play RD for the Oilers.

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Solid signing. He and Brown can fight it out for the 6/7 spots (Hopefully Troy wins, lol)

He just had a cyst removed from his ankle. He's probably already recovered and training.

 

[dssource]

Unexpected and happy to see this. Played well in his limited time with the Oil.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Hope this means that Ceci is going / gone. Skechers is almost perfect as Nurse’s partner…should stabilize that pairing in a good way.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Damn that's like league minimum. JJ took the vice grips to Stechers balls and SQUEEZED him.

No.6-7 good.
So Ekhold-Bouchard
Nurse-Ceci
Kulak-Broberg
Stetcher

The defense is set unless some AHL surprises in camp.

Or….Stecher is in for Ceci and Brown slots in as the 7th Dman. Means we move Ceci out…add to cap.

 

[McDoused]

I guess we can forgive Holland for wasting that pick now. Must have saw what was cooking and wanted to stay.

That would make for a very weak defense. Stetcher is no more than a 3rd pairing guy. Unless you think Broberg could replace Sissy on the 2nd pairing.

Broberg is better than Ceci, especially at moving the puck. Assuming Broberg plays on the right side, with Nurse on the left, that pair works better than Nurse/Ceci. Skechers nails down the 3RD spot.
Only thing is, moving Ceci likely happens at the TDL.
