Calling Up Sam Steel

Created by: SirQuacksALot

Team: 2017-18 Anaheim Ducks

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 8, 2017

Published: Jul. 8, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Sam Steel has put up better numbers than Brayden Point did in his final year in the WHL (1.98 P/GP vs. 1.83 P/PG). Brayden Point followed that up with 40 points in 68 games with Tampa Bay (48 point pace for 82 games).

If the Ducks call up Sam Steel to play third line center, it wouldn't be unreasonable to see him score 50 points over a full season. Even though Steel isn't playing with Kucherov and will be a year younger than Point in his first year, he is bigger and could still hit at least 40 points playing with Perry and Rakell.

I'd prefer if you traded Sam Steel to Vancouver, as they are lacking sweet names on their roster.

For Steel + Bieksa (betting that he would waive so that his family can return to their old friends)

Gudbranson 25 year old physical D, leader, 3rd overall in 2010
+ your choice of Centers: Brandon Sutter (younger Vermette), Adam Gaudette (great NCAA prospect that plays a complete 200 ft game)
Might offer Gudbranson + Sutter + Gaudette, but Gudbranson and Sutter will probably bring in more individually at the trade deadline

Gudbranson got moved from Florida for pennies on the dollar for good reason. He put up a whopping 6 points in an impressive 30 games last year as a -14. Now he never played well on Florida, but some of those bad numbers you could attribute to the terrible team he plays on, however even his relative corsi is horrible. He makes his bad team even worse. And 4.3M for the next 4 years of Sutter? A 3rd line center? Hard pass. Let the Canucks keep their terrible roster to themselves.
Steel is trending the absolute opposite direction. You'd need to be thinking more Horvat/Baertschi, who are understandably untouchable and already off their ELCs anyway. Steel will certainly not be a Canuck

At this point, Steel has no ceiling. It is very rare that a CHL player can average two points per game over a whole season. In recent years, it's been McDavid, Strome, Marner, Drouin, Ehlers, and a few more. I'm not gonna risk trading a young Getzlaf for a young Vermette. Sorry bud, you got a big hole to dig out of over there.
