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

[Ciao]

In the NHL, skating is a "one" and everything else is a"zero".

You can have a many zeros as you like, but if you don't have a one in front of them it all adds up to nothing.

I haven't watched him play, but I will be interested to see how well he skates. Does he skate well enough to make those other skills man something?

Steeves Sullivan is my life.



I hope he takes number 11 for TOR this season.

Other than a couple highlights haven't seen this guy play yet. Looked up his stats though and it looks like he's been trending in the right direction from year to year; pretty considerable growth stats-wise. Hearing he plays like a pro is nice too.

USHL:
15-16 (15): 39GP 5-6-11
16-17 (16): 53GP 6-12-18
17-18 (17): 55GP 20-37-57

NCAA (NCHC):
18-19 (18): 39GP 7-2-9
19-20 (19): 36GP 11-17-28
20-21 (20): 29GP 15-17-32

Welcome back Alex Steen!

Alex's uncle Scott Steeves was a pretty tough defenseman back in the day. I hope he brings some of that to the Leafs.

He worked really hard in Dubuque, especially in the gym, clearly that's continued through NCAA

Having a great start to his pro career.

Is Alex Steeves the goat? Some are saying yes.

 

[LeafSteel]

I’m excited yet I don’t know why!!!

What are we referring to here??

He has 5 goals in his first 4 AHL games. He's fast as f*** too.

I've been trying to watch as many marlies highlights and games as I can. He looks very good. If he continues his play, he/'' be on the Leafs by TDL. He is fast, smart in the offensive zone and plays a gritty game too. I would love to see a 4th line of Simmonds-Steeves-Spezza.

Edit: also has a wicked shot and plays the PK.

Crazy this guy went undrafted

 

[Dayjobdave]

The kid is a straight ahead hockey player. There’s a spot for him next year

 

[hockeynorth]

Call. Him. Up.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

The guy is dominant. He would work well on the 3rd line

definitely, he seems like our most NHL ready prospect

 

[Apex Predator]

I haven’t watch any AHL games but has he been that good that he’s NHL ready?

 

[ottomaddox]

Bring him up! We can do better than Ritchie/Engvall IMHO.

 

[Cecithepylon]

May as well give him a game seems good
