The First round pick for the Washington Capitals in 2019 was a steal. It brought in a point-friendly center in Connor McMichael, who with his skill can help the Capitals avoid the dreaded re-build. McMichael has month by month since then developed as a top-tiered prospect, pushing himself to become an NHL ready player.
In his first season in the OHL in 17-18, McMichael had a below average (NHL prospect average) 16 points in 60 games with 2 separate teams. In his next season he made a vast improvement being with the London Knights joining the >1PPG club with 72 points in 67 games.
