What should the Calgary Flames do with their 2023 free agents?

2. Troy Stecher

While many Flames fans were urging the team to make big moves at the 2022-23 NHL Trade Deadline, they decided to stand pat, with the only significant move being made was to swap the Ritchie brothers, while also acquiring the high energy Troy Stecher in the process. In 20 games with the Flames, Stecher contributed 3 big goals and 4 assists for 7 points, and became a major fan favourite in a short period of time, but with a loaded blue line group, can the Flames bring him back?

Long story short, yes, Calgary should bring Stecher back to pair with Nikita Zadorov as the third blue line pairing, but only on the condition that they move Noah Hanifin, as this would open up cap space for them to add another top forward, while giving Stecher the chance to solidify a key role for this team.
