""I love it here," he said. "I want to be here for a very long time, as long as possible, and help this team win. So, whether that's a deal this summer, next summer, whatever it may be, I just know one thing is for sure: I want to stay.""
Connor McMichael returned to the Capitals' ice ahead of his sixth NHL season, joining teammates for a pre-Rookie Showcase skate. McMichael posted career highs with 26 goals, 31 assists and 57 points while playing primarily left of Pierre-Luc Dubois and Tom Wilson, becoming the team's fifth-leading goal scorer. Spencer Carbery plans to start McMichael as the third-line center as part of a reclamation project, though the role could change based on injuries or top-six needs. McMichael is in the final year of a two-year, $4.2 million contract and expressed a clear desire to sign long-term and remain with the team.
