Personally I would have kept Yager I think - just with him being a center where I think McGroarty project more as a winger at the NHL level.

They are probably similar prospects with similar upside.
McGroarty can probably play now given his size and since he's a winger and that's probably more useful to the Pens who need youth and energy in the lineup now.
Yager will probably need a few years of seasoning and the Jets can give him that time due to their centre depth.
