I haven’t seen anything particularly good in 11 nhl games and numerous training camps. Not surprised that up to this point he hasn’t been given more opportunity. With his current AHL performance though he is definitely pounding on the door and really should get a chance. The Eastern Conference is a bloodbath atm so not surprised that teams are being cautious with their moves.
Less than 8:00 a night for his first 6 games is not an actual look. 10:14 last year but for only 1 game. I don't recall those games but they had other more high profile wingers and they might not have liked his pace or they simply didn't have a need for where he might fit.
Grebenkin was sent back down on Feb 1
Laval is the best team in the A this season and it showed. At least the Marlies battled today and got a point out of it. The game I attended last night was just sad to watch. Laval completely dominated the first half of the game, Steeves was really the only guy who had any skills in the lineup.
Gotta give to get. I think it makes sense if they are smart about it. I like Greb but he's got a lot of work to do in terms of compete and when he doesn't have the puck. Sometimes he's a problem in his own zone.
You expected to see anything good out of someone who has played with Dewar, Lorentz, Kampf, Holmberg, Reaves, over the last two years? Offensive players, aren't going to excel playing with such players.. that's why I said no rational person would judge based on such linemates.
Oh okay, I didn’t realize that he did so well in preseason. I certainly stand corrected there.
Let them walk if they want.
exactly trade a couple of these guys out for a centermen then call sleeves up I've noticed his improvement over the years he went from being unplayable to being solid on the fourth line he wasn't lighting it up like bobby Mcmann was but then again it took the game he was supposed to be scratched in to force the coach to keep him in the line up we see that Mcmann Ahl scoring translated to the nhl is it out of the realm of possibility that steeves can provide an upgrade in the secondary scoring department I'm sure if he played the whole year he'd probably be our 7th leading goal scorer
Why are you surprised? Look at how many picks they wasted. We may have 7 NHL players , many of whom will be depth with minimal impact. People will realize by next year the impact it has when you don't have young cheap replacements as guys start to fade. You end up overpaying Tavares when it's time to walk away.
