Stop me if you have heard this before, the Boston Bruins continue to block the path to the NHL for their prospects. I mean, it feels like this is a yearly thing under Sweeney recently.
That trend continued on Wednesday afternoon when the Bruins announced that they signed forward Alex Steeves to a two-year contract extension with an AAV of $1.625 million. Don't get me wrong, Steeves has been a pleasant surprise since coming from the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League (AHL) earlier this year. However, has he been good enough to warrant an extension at this point in the season?
