StLouisBlues: BREAKING: Alexander Steen (@steener20) has agreed to a three-year extension worth $17.4 million. INFO >>> http://t.co/MdWvwbDaNi #steener

I was hoping the Leafs would let Bolland go and get Steen back in the fold this summer. Oh well.

He's been playing wing there no? I had a similar thought about trading a winger and bringing him in but, like you say, oh well.

Sort of. He plays with Backes, who takes most of the face-offs, but plays on the wing otherwise, while Steen plays down the middle after the draw.

Ah, fair enough, either way it's one option flushed...

As a Leaf fna, the 5 giveaways and 27 takeaways turn me completely off.

Thats alot of money for Steen.  He could easily turn into a Jason Blake for the Blues.

550K per year more than Clarkson? Ya, I'd take that.

I doubt it will be a problem. Blake was one dimensional, and Steen basically excels at everything. Even when not scoring he still contributes.
