How did the Toronto Maple Leafs not see this coming? In two illogical moves, they might have managed to shoot themselves in the foot. In the process, they got rid of two young guys they could have used to build the future of their franchise.
The Boston Bruins have been one of the most surprising teams since the start of the 2025-26 season. They got off to a very hot start and have kept it going, which has led to them being tied for first in the Atlantic Division with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Alexander Steeves was born on December 10, 1999, in Bedford, New Hampshire. Steeves’ brother, Ben, plays for the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League.
Heading into December, the Boston Bruins sit in second place in the Atlantic Division behind only the Tampa Bay Lightning, and it seems more and more likely that the Bruins will be in the playoff conversation down the stretch, something few would have predicted just two months ago.

On Thursday night, the St. Louis Blues and Boston Bruins met for the first time this season. The game took place at TD Garden in Boston, the same arena where the Blues defeated the Bruins to win their first Stanley Cup back in 2019.

The Boston Bruins announced Saturday that forward Elias Lindholm has been placed on injured reserve, paving the way for the team to call up Alex Steeves from their AHL affiliate.
Barring any major trades that shake up the roster, the Boston Bruins’ lineup has very few openings for players to earn a job out of training camp. Before free agency, the opposite was true and the team had an opportunity to allow their logjam of young players the chance of an increased role at the NHL level.
As first reported by Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco, the Boston Bruins have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with forward Alex Steeves. PuckPedia reported that Bruins general manager Don Sweeney and Steeves’ representation landed on a salary of $850,000 for the contract.
Now that the AHL’s Toronto Marlies season has ended at the hands of the Cleveland Monsters, the Toronto Maple Leafs were able to recall several players for their playoff run.

Alex Steeves has been ‘on the cusp’ of an NHL job for a long time.

There are few players in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ system who have been played like a yo-yo quite like Alex Steeves. The Leafs signed him to an entry-level contract in March 2021, and since then, it feels like he’s gotten more tastes of the NHL without ever getting a proper bite.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Alex Steeves had a first period he will never forget. The 25-year-old forward scored his first career NHL goal to open Saturday’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
