Let's begin, shall we?
I submit for your perusal this young fellow, who is both a center, a Michigan kid, a Michigan commit, a Wings fan, and a potential top 10 player. He's LH, though, so obviously we should pass him on by.

2. Kyle Connor, F, Youngstown Phantoms
6’1″, 170, 2015 draft eligible
College Commitment: University of Michigan
With 2015 prospects Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel hogging all the attention for next year’s draft, we want to add a name to that discussion: Kyle Connor. Although he’s not in the same stratosphere as the other two top young stars, this Connor should be considered a potential first round selection in next year’s draft. A late 1996, Connor played well in both the Ivan Hlinka and the World Junior A Challenge tournaments in 2013. In addition, he is one of the leading scorers in the USHL in his sophomore season in the league (41 points in 29 games).

in Michigan's 2015 class Kyle Connor has seen his stock soar over the past year, obliterating competition at every level he plays at.
Connor is the elite playmaking center that Michigan has not had in quite some time. His puck handling is excellent, with good footwork and a strong first stride. A smart player, Connor's hockey sense has been part of the reason he excels wherever he goes.
His 200-foot game is a work in progress, but that's understandable for a younger scoring phenom. Youngstown coach Anthony Noreen has noted it's not always easy to get forechecking out of an elite scorer like Connor, but it's a part of his game he's been working on.
Connor's recent success playing at the U-18 Worlds has solidified his place as a 1st round pick. If he stays with his commitment, when the 2015 draft comes around Connor could be Michigan's highest drafted forward recruit since Eric Nystrom was taken 10th overall in 2002.
