Nashville Predators 2022-23 Season Preview: Michael McCarron

Michael McCarron played in 51 games last season. He played on the Nashville Predators fourth line. His average ice time was 10:23 per game. Last year he scored seven goals and had seven assists.

Predators' general manager wants to get better and deeper this year. McCarron is not a player you would want in the starting lineup. He should play in a rotational role and only in situations where an injury or something happens that makes one of the regulars unavailable.

Michael McCarron is unlikely to play much for Nashville Predators this season. He is not a good fit on the team's best line. The team needs mostly pure skilled players. Training camp opens less than a week from now. If he impresses coaches, he might get some early starts. Zach Sanford is a better player than McCrron. John Hynes' tendencies towards big bodied players might be a reason why he doesn't play for the Predators.

McCarron is best suited to playing in short doses when needed. He is expected to play around 35 games and score around 10 points. He will probably play a lot of hits. His strong suit is that he can take on the quarterback position.
