Michael McCarron is an extremely interesting prospect in the Montreal Canadiens‘ pipeline right now, as even two years into his pro career, we haven’t gotten a true read on what his ceiling might be.
In his rookie season in the AHL, McCarron was a force on the ice — physically and on the scoresheet — for the St. John’s IceCaps. In 58 games the behemoth forward notched 38 points, and earned an All-Star Game invite. This year saw a similar rate of production with 19 points in 32 games, which means he didn’t progress offensively, but that’s not worrying given his strong play overall.
