McMichael is nothing special imo.
we’ve got prospects who blow him out of the water

That Finland Sweden game is what @Kovalev27 has been waiting for.

I would put McMichael right there with Kravtsov as our top forward prospect. He'd easily be a top five or six prospect for us.
Finland's got a great coach. He's running a number of sophisticated pro schemes.

It was almost hard to tell that holtz was playing today. I'm not criticizing him because of the whole ranger devil thing, he was just very pedestrian. They found an interesting how many times button was talking about KH covid test and how much that affected Raymond and holtz
Yeah considering that we have Lafreniere from the last draft and Kakko from the McMichael draft, yes. I realize that he had gaudy OHL numbers last year, but so did everyone else. That league was a gong show last season. I wouldn't put him ahead of Kravstov either as even pouty, pissed off at Rangers management Kravtsov would have torched the O last year.
He's pretty meh for me all around though. As far as overall position on our prospect list goes, McMichael wouldn't crack our top 5 (assuming Igor still counts.) If we want to expand that to players 25 and under, He may not even crack our top 10 (and if he does, hes at the very end of that list.) I don't subscribe to positional value when it comes to W vs C, and I'd rather have an excellent winger than a good center anyway.
Not a player I'm going to get too broken up about not having. I like Tomasino much more as a player, but even then he also would come in towards the bottom of that list.
Heinola is really good though. We've more than hit our quota on undersized D, but he would play here. Theres a case to be made there, but I'd counter with this: How many undersized D can a team run out there realistically? Like in the regular season it's fine, but once the playoffs start its a different animal (I hate saying this because I feel like Milbury when I do, but it's true.)
Personally? I wouldn't want any more than 2.
If you consider Kakko graduated, then he's the third-best forward in our system behind Lafreniere (who is going to be better than every forward prospect by default) and Kravtsov (and he's a bit iffy). Being the third-best forward prospect in arguably the deepest system in the game is not insignificant, especially again considering one of the guys ahead of him is the best forward prospect in the game.
I'm not saying he's an absolute blue chipper, but he's a smart player who skates well, has a lot of skill, and has performed really well both in the OHL and in international competitions. I'd love to have him in our system and outside of Shesterkin, Miller, Lundkvist, and maybe Kravtsov, I would gladly trade him straight up for anyone else in our system.
Peyton Krebs looks like a giant tooth.

Not that it matters he looks all right but his head IS shaped like a tooth.

Trouba would be dominating the WJC if he was there
NHL network might be messing up. We're not getting the game down south. Not sure if it's on a delay or not.
Down south they care about hockey so little the NHL network airs college football instead.
Levi is naturally very talented. Good jeans.
