Much like McKenna, there’s really only one thing about Stenberg’s game that I take issue with. For him, it’s the fact that when he’s under pressure or he’s tired, his decision-making can sometimes revert back to old bad habits that lead to questionable choices. This plays out in missing opportunities, keeping hold of the puck longer than he should, or just making lazy calls with where and how he’s passing. I will admit this is not as much of an issue as I was concerned about it being at the beginning of the season. In his own end, he can also wait for moments to come to him, rather than making them happen. It’s not a glaring deficiency, just something that I’ve noticed from time to time.
I will also note that his offensive production declined across the second half of the season, but that was really only the case because he was on fire in the first half. He had to come back to earth sometime, and no one can be producing at extreme rates every single game.
