Chris Tanev is the Vancouver Canucks’ No. 1 defenseman. Having him back for the upcoming six-game road trip is huge for the team. However, it came at the cost of Troy Stecher, who was arguably the Canucks’ top D-man in the three games he played this season. Stecher has been reassigned to the AHL Utica Comets and will not take part in the Canucks’ road trip.
Fans are not amused with this move, to say the least.
Stecher went pointless in three games, but the Canucks didn’t really score at all, which was not on Stecher.
