There is absolutely nothing wrong with Stecher. He's a heart and soul bottom pairing guy who can play into the top 4 for short periods when needed. He has his warts, but the guy will go to war for you. I hope the Canucks find a way to bring him back.

Flames signing Stetcher at $2.5 or even up to $3.0 wouldn't be a bad move. Right shot guy, a little on the small side, but isn't soft.
He can probably step into Brodie's place next to Gio and it would give Valimaki, Kylington and Mackey some more time to develop into a top 4 role.
The money saved on defense could be used to sign Hall and a goalie.
Blaster: you think the Canucks would go to $3.0 million for Stetcher?
