[Washington Hockey Now] At What Point Would Capitals Consider Trading McMichael?

If McMichael were to ever become available he’d be a great buy low candidate. He has been bad this season (he’s been many times worse than Mittelstadt), however he was good as a 21 year old in the NHL last season ([his DY+3 was similar to Cozens’](https://imgur.com/a/vkhdH9c#GqbVjsP)^1 and they are the same DY). Anyways I hope Washington realizes they can’t wait around for a 21 year old to figure it out as their window is now and trade him to the Sabres.
