Alex Steeves deserves a chance to stick around with the Bruins, but he'll likely be in Providence soon.
It'll be tough for Alex Steeves to make the opening night lineup, which isn't an indictment of how he has been playing in the preseason. The numbers game is simply going to catch up to Steeves, and last year's second-leading scorer in the AHL will head down to Providence to await his turn in the lineup. Unfortunately, the Boston Bruins' front office signed so many depth players because Steeves is the type of player they should've taken a chance on.
