The Detroit Red Wings signed defenseman Troy Stecher to a two-year contract, the team announced Saturday.
Stecher's deal is worth $3.4 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
The 26-year-old did not receive a qualifying offer from the Vancouver Canucks after his two-year, $4.65-million pact with the club expired at the end of this season.
The 5-foot-10 blue-liner recorded five goals and 17 points while ranking fourth on the Canucks with 70 blocked shots through 69 games in 2019-20.
The Red Wings added netminder Thomas Greiss with a two-year, $7.2-million deal earlier Friday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded Andreas Johnsson to the New Jersey Devils for Joey Anderson, the team announced.
The Maple Leafs needed to clear cap space after signing TJ Brodie on Friday, and Johnsson was the odd man out. He's inked for three more years with an annual cap hit of $3.4 million, according to CapFriendly.
Johnsson, 25, racked up 20 goals and 23 assists in 2018-19, finishing eighth in Calder Trophy voting. He took a step back during an injury-riddled 2019-20 campaign, though, recording eight goals and 13 assists in 43 games.
Anderson, the Devils' third-round pick in 2016, has tallied 13 points in 52 career NHL games. The 22-year-old is currently a restricted free agent.

The Chicago Blackhawks have traded forward Brandon Saad and prospect Dennis Gilbert to the Colorado Avalanche for defensemen Nikita Zadorov and Anton Lindholm, the team announced Saturday.
The Blackhawks are also reportedly retaining $1 million on Saad's contract, a source told The Athletic's Scott Powers. He's entering the final year of his deal that contains a $6-million cap hit.
Saad, a five-time 20-plus-goal scorer, potted 21 goals and added 12 helpers in 58 games this past season. The 27-year-old is a two-time Stanley Cup champion with 81 career playoff games under his belt.
Zadorov fills a need on Chicago's blue line after the team traded Olli Maatta to the Los Angeles Kings earlier in the offseason. He's physically imposing at 6-foot-6 and 235 pounds, and Zadorov racked up 175 hits last season. The 25-year-old is currently a restricted free agent.

He was actually my favorite player on the Preds. No one has a bigger heart than him, Gives it his all every game. Plays a chippy game and can occasionally contribute offensively. He’s a recovering alcoholic, but he seems to have got that cleaned up.

Him and his girlfriend were both alcoholics and they were both hitting each other in public. He had a problem no doubt.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed defenseman Zach Bogosian to a one-year contract worth $1 million, the team announced Saturday.
Bogosian split the 2019-20 campaign between the Buffalo Sabres and the Tampa Bay Lightning, tallying seven points in 27 games. He skated in 20 playoff contests during the Lightning's Stanley Cup title run, chipping in with four assists while averaging nearly 18 minutes per game.
The 30-year-old will add a much-needed imposing presence to Toronto's blue line. The right-handed defenseman stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 221 pounds, and he racked up 44 hits this past postseason.
Bogosian was drafted third overall in 2008 and has been widely considered a bust, but he's battled numerous injuries during his 12-year career.
However, while healthy and on a playoff team for the first time, Bogosian was a valuable contributor for the Lightning. He spent much of the playoffs paired with Victor Hedman and posting strong underlying numbers, including a 59% Corsi For percentage and a 52.5% expected goals percentage - although the former Norris Trophy winner certainly helped prop up Bogosian.
Toronto also added TJ Brodie to its back end on Friday.

The Los Angeles Kings originally chose the winger in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft. He was a member of the Stanley Cup-winning team in 2013 and amassed 139 goals with 151 assists in 515 games during his eight-season stint there.
