"Stenberg (5-11, 183) had 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) this season, the fifth-most by an 18-year-old in the SHL and the most since Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin in 1998-99. He's an offensive dynamo who can drive play to create opportunities for others or finish chances and he's reliable defensively."
"With elite awareness and decision making, Stenberg exhibits a lot of confidence and swagger and is very difficult to knock off the puck. The left wing impressed at World Juniors for gold medal-winning Sweden, finishing with 10 points in seven games including a goal and two assists in a 4-2 win against Czechia in the championship game."
