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

Two-point effort Monday
CWashington Capitals
March 4, 2025
McMichael produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-4 shootout win over the Senators.
ANALYSIS
Both points came in the first period, as McMichael opened the scoring just 1:41 into the contest before helping to set up Pierre-Luc Dubois for a tally later in the frame. McMichael has already put together a career-best campaign with 22 goals and 47 points in 61 appearances, but he's actually picked up the pace in the last month or so -- over his last 11 games, the 24-year-old has five goals and 11 points.

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.
