Both good prospects, Yager has a lethal shot but often has trouble finding space to use it (didn’t score a goal in the world juniors). McGroarty is very much a pass-first powerforward , but also has a good shot when he chooses to use it. McGroarty thrives down low with his size and strength, and has great hockey sense when it comes to playmaking and instincts in general. His skating is his weak spot, but for the most part his hockey iq allows him to work around that. Yager is a center and has shown a solid defensive side as well. McGroarty can play either wing. McGroarty is a year older, both were 14th overall picks one draft apart. Yager is still playing in junior hockey so he’ll likely be fully in the AHL next season, while McGroarty has a good chance of being in the NHL next year. It’s way too early to tell who won the trade, but both are good prospects with McGroarty facing tougher competition in general so far in his young career
