The Toronto Maple Leafs need a revamping on their blue line desperately and to just bring something new on the back end, they have dived into the waiver wire.

Announced by the team on Saturday afternoon, the Maple Leafs have claimed defenseman Troy Stecher off of waivers from the Edmonton Oilers.

Stecher quickly established himself as a reliable blueliner with Vancouver, playing four seasons from 2016–2020.
