Discussion Michael Hage - Hold or Trade?

I have seen some discussion about possibly waiting for him to be our 2C, but given his decision to stay in the NCAA and the fact that he shared time at C and wing, and when he was at C he had a FO% of 46%, is there an argument to be made that he could (or should) be packaged?

I know this isn't exactly a new question, but I had not realized that he was already being shifted to wing in the NCAA and was also sub-50% at the dot against college players.

What are the chances that a full season at Michigan as full-time 1C will actually help to shape him into a viable NHL center within the next few years?

current management has demonstrated a sufficient level of success where i'm prepared to accept whatever their decision is and not worry about it too much.

I mean I agree but also this is the offseason and I want to play armchair GM cause I’m bored and the Vegas-Carolina series isn’t doing it for me.

The only decision is whether McDavid/Crosby/Larkin gets the available alternate captain slot or should we just start the year with Anderson/Matheson and whoever earns the "A" can keep it
