Rutger McGroarty (Michigan) won't be returning to college—or playing for the Winnipeg Jets.
McGroarty, 20, had his NHL rights traded from Winnipeg to the Pittsburgh Penguins for center Brayden Yager. Drafted 14th overall by the Jets following two season with the U.S. National Development Team, McGroarty, a right wing, apparently did not wish to sign with Winnipeg.
A 6-foot-1, 200-lb. native of Lincoln, Neb., McGroarty tallied 16 goals and 36 assists for 52 points in 36 games last season as Michigan qualified for its third straight NCAA Frozen Four. In 75 career outings with the Wolverines over two years, he recorded 34-57—91 points and 12 power-play goals.
