The Edmonton Oilers didn't land any of the top defenseman available at the trade deadline, but on Thursday, they have made a sneaky good addition in the form of a former division rival.

Edmonton Oilers land Troy Stecher



After missing out on Noah Hanifin and Chris Tanev, the Edmonton Oilers pivoted, instead trading for Arizona's Troy Stecher, who was with the Calgary Flames a season ago.

The 29-year old veteran has also played for the Vancouver Canucks in his career, and brings plenty of speed and energy to the blue line, along with some much needed depth for the Oilers.


Last season between Arizona and Calgary, Stecher tallied 3 goals and 14 points, and while he's got just 1 goal and five assists in 2023-24, he's fantastic depth for the Oilers, and will likely come at a very cheap price.
