According to Daily Faceoff insider Frank Seravalli, Sam Steel is expected to sign a one-year deal to remain with the Dallas Stars on a deal worth $1.2 million.
Steel was not tendered a qualifying offer with the Ducks on Sunday, but his new deal is a step up from his $850,000 cap hit from 2023-24., expected to re-sign for 1 year x $1.2 million after not receiving a QO today.Steel had nine goals and 24 points in 77 games in his first season with the Stars. It was a four-point drop from his previous best of 28 points set in 2022-23 with Minnesota, but it was still a solid season for the depth forward.
Drafted 30th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in 2016, Steel has struggled to be a notable scoring figure in the NHL. He had 50 goals and 131 points with the WHL’s Regina Pats in 2016-17, two years before making his NHL debut. He made an immediate impact in 2018-19, registering 11 points in 22 games to go along with 20 goals and 41 points in the AHL.
Steel had some growing pains in 2019-20, registering just 22 points in 65 games. After two more difficult seasons, the Ducks elected to let him go to the open market heading into the 2022-23 season – which did mark his best output to date.in projected cap space this summer. They offered Thomas Harley a qualifying offer, so it’ll be interesting to see how much he makes after a breakout season.
