## Resource

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by pending UFA defenceman Troy Stecher. To start, Stecher discusses his trademark compete level and what he wanted to bring to the Maple Leafs after being claimed off waivers from Edmonton back in November. From there, he reflects on his overall experience in Toronto, calling it a “world class organization,” while admitting there’s plenty of uncertainty surrounding the team’s offseason changes. Most notably, Stecher made it clear he’d love to return, saying: “I hope I’m back, I really enjoyed being a Leaf.” Additionally, Stecher weighs in on the pressure and media spotlight that comes with playing in Toronto, his reaction to Craig Berube’s firing, and why he believes the responsibility ultimately falls on the players. He also shares the team’s reaction to winning the draft lottery and touches on the latest surrounding Max Domi. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
