I think Sam Steel has been looking a little bit better each game as of late

I think so too but in a fully healthy lineup, idk if hed even be in the top 9 so I decided a trade was the best way to go. Plus the yotes need a center and Travis Boyd is there #1 C rn...so they need a C

If we're going to be giving up on Sam Steel, it wouldn't be to acquire another fourth-line center since Benoit-Olivier Groulx is ready to step into that spot. Plus, Sam Carrick can play center, too, and Mason McTavish will probably be contending for a place on the big club next season.

McTavish = next year
Eakins doesn't want to play Groulx for some reason. And Boyd isnt a 4th line center. You can plug and play him anywhere. plus i like groulx better on the wing
