#1 Connor McMichael

Again let’s be clear, I DON’T WANT THEM TO TRADE LAPIERRE or Connor McMichael. But it might be what it takes to get a deal done. Will GMBM do it remains to be seen. Glad none of us are in that spot.

McMichael wasn’t in the lineup much at the NHL level last season. Only six games before getting sent down to Hershey. It was a necessary move if Laviolette wasn’t going to play him. Why waste time in the press box when you can develop your game and lead the farm team to playoff success?

McMichael had 16 goals and 23 assists for 39 points in 57 regular season games. In the playoffs he had 10 points with six goals and four assists and also had a goal in that epic Game 7 in the dessert.

I would like to see McMichael and Lapierre battle it out this training camp. McMichael would probably have the edge in that regard having worked with new coach Spencer Carbery in the past.
