Michael McCarron is big. Not just big in stature, but big in the way he plays on the ice, and he’s capable of being more than just a grinder who eats up defensive-zone minutes.
However, after a great sophomore season in the OHL, where he captured a Memorial Cup with the Oshawa Generals, and then a promising rookie year with the St. John’s IceCaps in the AHL, he has failed to reach that same level of play consistently.
Should he turn it around, McCarron could be destined for a role as an everyday fourth-line NHL player.
