Welcome to the yearly wrap up of the top read articles over the last year!
The Vancouver Canucks were ready to make a move at the deadline to better the club. They had grabbed Tyler Toffoli, but there was talk about other moves they could make.
One of which was a player the Canucks could’ve traded away — Troy Stecher.
While he walked in free agency, an article looking at some last-minute trade options came in as the 21st most-read article this year.
Rumours were circling on Feb. 22 when the article was published by Stephan Roget. Much like an article of Roget’s I wrote about the other day, he utilized the myPuckPedia GM Mode to look at some options.
Here’s what Roget came up with:

Mike Green
To Detroit:
