Top point getter in the WHL is a second year eligible he has to be consider one of the top dozen snipers in the class, and he seems to have added a step or so to his stride this season. He may not project as even a top three line pro, but certainly has skills and attributes to be though of as a solid pro who competes for minutes on the bottom end of a roster and help increase a team�s depth in competition to fill a roster.
�Bill Placzek�
�Steenbergen became the centrepiece of Swift Current�s offence, improving from 20 to 51 goals this season over last, enough to share the WHL lead. He performed well in the playoffs as Swift Current�s second-leading scorer with 14 points in 14 games. The speedy pivot edges well and is a threat both on the rush and in front of the net. He comes off the wall well with a lightning quick release.� � Sam Cosentino, Sportsnet.
Steenbergen�s a really solid WHLer. The challenges for him going forward are to a certain extent his size, and to a larger extent his ability to build upon his monstrous 2016-17 season. Can he create offense at even strength? Can he maintain his shooting percentage? Can he round out his game with a bit more attention to his defensive responsibilities? There�s a good foundation laid for Steenbergen, but due to his age he arguably has a slightly shorter runway for development than the first year eligible players in the 2017 Draft.
