I watched McMichael play a lot last year and at the moment he seems NHL ready as a winger rather than a center because of the defensive differences in the positions. My guess would be if Kuznetsov stays they go with McMichael - Eller - Sprong for the third line and Sheary - Dowd - Hathaway for the fourth

That’s a good point. A lot of young centers start at wingers in the NHL and transition over, like Trevor Zegras this year. But I think it would be good if he is at least in the NHL for a large amount of games this year.
