Apparently, the transition from the Edmonton Oilers to the Toronto Maple Leafs is a seamless one for Troy Stecher.

Now that […]

The Edmonton Oilers need to acquire a netminder before it’s too late. This is something that most people are aware of, but over the past few seasons, I have been an ardent supporter of Stuart Skinner.
