Confirmed with Link: TOR sign F Alex Steeves to 3 year ELC

[kb]

I always like reading the write ups on guys before we sign them. Sounds like the Bruins would have been interested? Good enough for me. We’re due for another Bozak.

Notre Dame's Alex Steeves Drawing NHL Interest

Hahahaha....not a single mention of the Leafs.

Gotta love the quick strike ability of this FO.

 

[LeafChief]

If we would have stopped at Hansen and Irwin we never would have signed Bozak.

You always take the chance at talent. Honestly there is no reason for people to be upset about this.

Oh definitely. I love these signings. Was confused about the reaction from the poster I was replying to.

He won't get nearly the amount of time and space that he has on most of these plays at the pro level, but if he can make quicker decisions playing with better teammates I really like the potential there.

 

[Mats13]

I like how this tweet is meant to praise Caufield and Matthews is in there with a way higher PPG when he was 2 years younger

 

[Anthrax442]

Mirtle called him a C. Is he actually a C? Thanks

You trust the troglodytes here over a real journalist?

 

[ottomaddox]

I can't wait to see Steeves Sullivan play in TOR.

 

[Stephen]

Remember when we couldn’t get anyone to sign here

Leafs have never had a problem signing players.

Good observation… In his favor, he has adapted to each league he’s been in pretty well.
Pretty interesting player.

 

[stickty111]

Great signing. Low risk but potentially high reward.

 

[Stephen]

I can't wait to see Steeves Sullivan play in TOR.

I kept thinking Alex Stee-n in the highlight reels.

 

[socko]

A name I have not heard of until this very moment.
Obviously a surefire superstar.

 

[Leaftors]

Leafs have never had a problem signing players.

Ok Stephen

 

[McSnypsky]

it's weird he's listed as 5'11" but he looks huge in these clips

 

[Anthrax442]

Remember that phenom kid that was also an engineer and everybody was gaga he signed with us. I forget his name but other than the couple of games he got as a reward for signing with us we never heard from him again.

Casey Bailey or smtn?

 

[Lil Tuzzi Bert]

My thoughts exactly

Isn't that the one who signed with Ottawa but was traded here as a contract spot? Max Veronneau I believe?

 

[exporta]

A free prospect is never bad but the focus should be on adding a piece

Such a tired argument.

Our front office, and the majority of people, can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Those who can't, dont go too far in life. I would be dumb founded if our management dedicated 24hrs a day to harassing other GM's, and missed out on asset that hit.

Adding a top college UFA to your depth, doesnt scream to me they arent focused on augmenting their roster for a run.

 

[ottomaddox]

Welcome Alex Steeves-O to the Toronto Maple Leafs

 

[Gary Nylund]

If we would have stopped at Hansen and Irwin we never would have signed Bozak.

Of course not, are people actually upset?

 

[Kiwi]

Seems like a good player to roll the dice on

I don't watch much NCAA hockey but his counting stats look pretty solid

Fingers crossed the kid works out

 

[Northernguy10]

Two subtle but effective things I noticed in the short highlight clips. He shoots , at times, off the wrong foot which always screws up a goalies timing (and not enough players do in my opinion) and his timing on passes and shots immediately after beating an opponent is great... Too many players will beat someone with a move and take too long to pass or shoot which gives defencemen and goalies more time to get set. He "seems" to be an intelligent player with skills so it doesn't surprise me that KD signed him.

 

[mallory67]

But is he over 6"5?

Sadly he is only 5'11" and is therefore unworthy of our attention until he scores 20 goals in the show.

 

[Superstar]

A name I have not heard of until this very moment.
Obviously a surefire superstar.

Now we could trade Matthews to Arizona for a surefire huge haul, maybe for half of the team...

 

[ottomaddox]

Time to use Steeves in a trade proposal:

Steeves, Kerfoot, and a 6th round pick for Taylor Hall.

That's impressive...but could he chew gum and run at the same time though?
