Connor McMichael is the most valuable forward prospect in Washington’s system. The 20-year-old was a first round selection by the Caps in 2019. McMichael spent the 2019-20 season with the London Knights of the OHL putting up a whopping 47 goals and 55 assists in 52 games in the pandemic-shortened season.

Due to the NHL/CHL agreement, McMichael would have been destined for another year with London, as he was under the age of 20 at the start of the year, but due to the pandemic, the OHL did not have a season, and thus McMichael was able to start the year in Hershey.
