Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Alex Steeves is having a great rookie year with the Toronto Marlies, but could find himself in a difficult position.
Much like Josh Leivo some seasons back, only time will tell as to whether Alex Steeves can eventually replicate his impressive rookie AHL goal scoring on the Toronto Maples Leafs roster.
Of course, the two are very different players but the comparison is fair in that Leivo never quite made it stick in the NHL, despite breaking the Marlies rookie goal scoring single-season record.
Right now, Alex Steeves is very much on pace to topple Leivo’s record, but hopefully he manages to establish himself, unlike Leivo, as a long-term member of the Toronto Maple Leafs NHL roster.
