#15 The growth and development of Connor McMichael

There's a lot of ways to be impressed about among the play of Connor McMichael. But the stat sheet alone doesn't tell the whole story. @JFreshHockey on X said this about McMichael:

"McMichael's growth as a player has been astonishing. He's a scoring chance machine in tight, fearless jumping on rebounds, and capitalizing with excellent efficiency. There were glimpses last year but nothing approaching what he's done this season so far. "
@JFreshHockey

His projected WAR percenage is at 49 percent. His EV Offense is at 70 percent while his defense is at 14 percent. His power play percentage is at 53 percent while he has a 63 percent finishing percentage.

So far this season in 37 games he has 16 goals and 14 assists for 30 points along with a plus/minus of plus nine while averaging 17:57 minutes of ice time. Those numbers can only go up from here.
