— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 28, 2021 Steeves, 21, went undrafted, but has had a productive year for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, putting up 15 goals and 32 points in 29 games. (Cole Caulfield, the Montreal Canadiens’ star prospect, had 30 and 52, respectively; he is a year younger than Steeves.) Steeves is foregoing an additional year of college hockey to turn pro.
