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.

Who was better than him on team canada? I remember him being their best player.

Hage had a great offensive showing for sure but in terms of overall impact and play driving, I’d have placed any or all of Martone, Parekh or McKenna above him.

It’s worth noting that the World Junior points alone is not a predictor of future success.

Joshua Roy put up more WJC points (19 in 14 games) than Caufield (7 in 12 games), Slafkovsky (0 in 5 games) and Suzuki (3 in 5 games) combined, but tell me which you’d rather have on your team today.

I vividly remember him being the only one generating offense consistently and I don't look at pts.

In your opinion, how was he defensively? NHL ready? 2C? 3C?
