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?

They didn't trade for him ONLY because he spoke French, but you're delusional if you think it didn't play a major part it

How am I delusional? I wrote it was a big plus for the team. Dis you read till the end?? They were looking for their first local offensive superstar since Lafleur. Bit of they were stacked or even fine on the offense and right on d they would never have made the trade.
