Almost equal value for me at this point. Both good choices.
Rindell played in a better league last year, but Steeves was better in his league (which was arguably the best league in the NCAA). Rindell was on a much much worse team though. Almost identical age (21.4 vs 21.8). Ya, no bad choice. I'm gonna go Steeves.

Both are pretty good prospects for so deep in our pool. Both of them have a shot to be an NHLer in some capacity. I just like Steeves
Steeves for me. Great shot, great motor, pro-style game, and has been really good in the NCAA. Has been killing it at the Leafs development camp too.
Honestly, he probably has a better shot to be an NHLer than a bunch of the guys ahead of him on this list. I saw someone compare him to Trevor Moore, and I think that’s a pretty good comp. He does need to keep working on his skating though - it’s improved but still on the weak side for a 5’11” NHLer. Trevor Moore is/was a much better skater.

I like Rindell having the offensive skills first, but reports are he has to round out the defensive side. If he does, he could be a gem.
Same reason for liking Villeneuve.
If they have the head for being more alert and simple, they get much more useful.
Still, Reeves first.
