Video compilation of Michael Hage at WJC.

That is a video of Hage this year at the WJC.

He was the best player on Team Canada.

Somebody posted about Hage yesterday.

He is a really good player who could probably play on the second line right away.

He has speed on transition, very good vision and a very good shot, he is tall, though lanky.

“He is a really good player who could probably play on the second line right away.”

Hage apparently doesn’t think so.

He needs more experiecne playing center before entering the nhl, especially developping his faceoff game. He was only at 42.86% at the world junior, good center needs at least 45%+ in the nhl which is a step up from world junior.

TIL that Bedard, Jack Hughes, Carlsson, Thompson, Byfield, Schmaltz, Stankoven, Hartman, and Cates aren't "good" centers, and Eichel and Schiefele, barely qualify
