Lapierre isn't NHL ready, he'll need a year in the AHL but McMichael is definitely 2C ready. His possession impacts when he was center this season was better than any center we had this year. He'll be a very good 2C and if you have Forsberg and Mantha on his wings he'll do fine.
He averaged 10 minutes a night….
43.14 cf% 34.21ff% xgf% 44.42. In the playoffs.
Protas vs McM
53.75 cf%. 54.26 ff%. 52.72xgf% .27ppg
52.21cf%. 52.86ff%. 55.44 xgf%. .27ppg
Both are average players that should be 3c for at least 2 years before moving up any higher unless they show something impressive. Protas imo has the size and should be in the NHL.
Miller.
52.36cf% 51.92 ff%. 51.03xgf%. Playing top line minutes. 1.24 ppg
One of these guys can carry a line by himself. The others are young players that aren’t ready to handle those responsibilities
Lafreniere.
47.67cf%. 46.92ff% 48.58xgf%. .40ppg.
He’s considered a big time bust and even he’s a noticeable upgrade
