McMichael entered the draft as the 24th-ranked North American skater by NHL Central Scouting and was projected to be selected in the first round.
The London Knight product led the team in both goals and points this season en route to the second-best record in the OHL. McMichael is a high-IQ player with a heavy shot and a deceptive release, and has the potential to be an impact scorer as he continues to develop.
What they're saying
"McMichael is an excellent two-way player with an extremely high hockey IQ. He is a very strong puck possession player. His anticipation is very good. He is a very effective forechecker and does not shy away from playing in the dirty areas. Once he adds more muscle and mass, he should become even more effective." - Dominic Tiano/ OHL Writers
