Where will they go in June's draft? Sam Cosentino breaks it down.
Solid frame and a good skater with good edges, McMichael also possesses soft hands that make him a multi-faceted threat. He’s on a team that is expected to have an extended playoff run and that could really benefit McMichael, who will have to fight hard for high leverage minutes with the likes of Kevin Hancock, Alex Formenton and Liam Foudy, who are all healthy and playing well. McMichael can make hay at 5-on-5 and is difficult to play against.
On his best nights, he can be the most dominant player on the ice. He skates and protects the puck well, can handle it at high speed and shoots it a ton. But can he consistently elevate his play? So far, with five points in three games, he’s done just that in the post-season. Lavoie will benefit from high leverage looks as Halifax will play host to the 2019 Memorial Cup.A magical first half to the season culminated in earning a spot on Canada’s world junior team.

Tomasino is expected to play a key part in Niagara’s run, and after being held pointless in Games 1 and 2, he came through with two goals and an assist in Game 3 to earn first star honours.
