NHL analyst Frank Seravalli has recently said he thinks that Oilers defenseman Troy Stecher, who has played for several teams, could soon be on the move again.
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Troy Stecher has been a journeyman over the last several years, playing on a handful of teams.
But right now, it looks like he eventually could be on the move yet again
I personally, this is just my opinion, I would keep Troy Stecher. I think he's the League's perfect number seven, six-seven. He truly is the League's perfect six-seven because he's low maintenance, he comes in and plays like a pro every time, and he makes basically league minimum on the salary cap, so he doesn't cost you an arm and a leg, which is exactly what the Oilers need as they're counting every dollar.
I would move (Ty) Emberson first, I think he's a nice player but I don't think he's a have to have player. And I think the Oilers can find some value for him on the trade market. But are they trying to find a different solution for Troy Stecher? Keep an eye on that. - Frank Seravalli
