I remember when the Leafs traded him when he was still young and really starting to look good for freaking Lee Stempniak. Plus the Leafs added Carlo Colliacvo who was pretty good when he wasn't injured.

At the time most people on CP thought the trade was a huge win for Toronto. Stempniak had been a good goal scorer on what were bad Blues teams and was a guy who always scored against the Flames. Steen was still young and had been okay for Toronto but for whatever reason they did not have patience for him. Stempniak never came close to scoring 27 goals again and Steen went on to have a long productive career.
