What does the signing mean for a player like Steeves?

With how much of a premium they paid Willy maybe his brother can help make it more fair.

Not much of a gamble really. He’s a great AHL level player and lacks the drive to be a consistently good NHL level talent. Signing him to the Marlies is a good choice.

Its very surprising that no one picked him up, hes ens of season should have earned him at least a 2way super of this pick-up

I don’t think Alex is any more than a AAAA calibre player, let him dominate the A and be available in case we get an injury somewhere in the organization.
Free Wallet if he does better, as Burkie used to say.

Am I taking crazy pills or is 15 points in 23 games last year not decent?

Does he need to clear waivers to play for the Leafs?
Unless he’s waiver excempt the only gamble is if he’s actually good then gets poached on waivers when they try to call him up.

I wish we hadn’t signed him. It might be weird with his bro on the team. And Alex Nylander is a meh player overall. All the things you hate about Willy are magnified with Alex and all the things you love about Willy are minimized. He’s a lazier, floatier, softer Willy without the elite offense. That’s why no teams want him
