#Leafs trade David Steckel to Anaheim Ducks for RW Ryan Lasch and Anaheim?s seventh-round pick in 2014 Draft.

Opens roster spot for Lupul.

Boudreau is a big Steckel fan. Spoke of him often in his book.

 

[Zee]

We always trade with Anaheim.

 

[drummond]

We gave away Steckel for nothing. Lasch is a small journeyman in Europe and well, we got the seventh round pick.

 

[Kin]

His fault for not learning to be better at punching people in the face, I suppose.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Why Steckel?  Being nice to Burkie?

 

[Peter D.]

I'd certainly rather Steckel in the lineup than one of McLaren or Orr.

I liked Steckel for what he brought on the 4th line.  I might be wrong, but it seemed like McClement and Steckel were viewed as similar type of players to have in the lineup.  And if so, I'd certainly have McClement in well before Steckel.

 

[Stickytape]

I'm a big Steckel fan, too.  Not sure I like this.

Agreed.  Terrible trade.  Decent defensively and one of the best faceoff guys in the league.  Fail, Nonis.

He *was* one of the best faceoff guys in the league, he's been far from that this season.

Eh (I know zilch about Ryan Lasch.)

Indeed. McClement made him irrelevant and McClement is much better I think.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Lasch won the Finnish Elite League scoring title last year. Whatever that's worth.

5,000 markka?

 

[Stronger Than All]

I don't like the trade, but I agree that McClement has been fantastic.

 

[bustaheims]

Enh. Steckel wasn't in the line-up much, and, when he was, he wasn't really contributing. The return isn't exactly awe-inspiring, but, I wouldn't have expected much for a healthy scratch that's shouldn't be much more than a 4th liner anywhere.

No problem with that, but are Orr or MacLaren better players than Steckel?

Carlyle likes what they bring to the team and it's his team. Also, what Busta said. They needed a space for Lupul, Steckel, bless his heart, was the logical player if they didn't have a better, bigger trade that could happen.

 

[Zee]

Don't look now, but it's Steckel's birthday today.  Ice cold Nonis.

He got him a guaranteed trip to the playoffs, pretty good gift.
