23-Year-Old CenterC
Washington Capitals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
McMichael showcased some upside in 2023-24, scoring 18 goals and adding 15 assists in 80 games. He spent most of the year playing alongside Anthony Mantha and Aliaksei Protas, which accounted for the bulk of his production, but he also got to play in Washington's top six. The team's offseason acquisitions of Pierre-Luc Dubois and Andrew Mangiapane will likely result in McMichael starting 2024-25 in a bottom-six role. The 23-year-old McMichael inked a two-year, $4.2 million contract in July to prove himself. He has a good chance of establishing himself as a productive middle-six option, but surpassing his 33-point performance from last campaign will be challenging this season. Read Past Outlooks

Extends goal spree to three games
CWashington Capitals
November 2, 2024
McMichael tallied two goals and four shots during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
ANALYSIS
McMichael has been on a tear to start the season and is now the team leader with seven goals. He also ranks third on the club in points (12) behind Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin. The 23-year-old McMichael is breaking out in 2024-25 and should be picked up in just about any format. He could be a superb long-term fantasy addition if his hot streak continues.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
McMichael found himself in the Capitals' lineup more often than not during his rookie season in 2021-22, ultimately appearing in 68 of the club's 82 regular-season games. His offensive production (9 goals, 18 points) was limited, but that's understandable considering he barely averaged 10 minutes of ice time per contest (10:28) and never saw any time with the man advantage. McMichael was a jack-of-all-trades center during his junior days with OHL London, but it appears as if the Capitals plan on deploying him in a defensive role in the early stages of his pro career, a decision that will substantially limit his fantasy appeal.
McMichael is a long shot to make the Capitals' roster in 2020-21, but if he does, he could be a surprisingly valuable player. The 19-year-old center shredded the OHL with 102 points in 52 games for the London Knights last year. A first-round pick from 2019, McMichael's path to playing time in the NHL is blocked -- the Capitals won't want him toiling in the bottom six at such a young age. Dynasty managers will obviously want to stash McMichael for both near and long-term reasons, as he projects as a solid middle-six option within the next three seasons given his strong all-around game.
