While I agree that McMichael's projection has fallen a bit, I think he proved last year that his floor is as a very good 3c on a playoff team, which is incredibly important to have. The Caps should only be moving him on if 1) he asks out or 2) they are getting back a star player that pushes them over the top this year. Sandin is, like McMichael, not going to push the Caps over the top this year. Send over a second and Leason or AA, or even a first like Dallas just did for Lundkvist, but don't bail out the Leafs for their poor player management by giving them a blue chip, NHL ready, cost controlled center.
