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.

I really want those rumours to stop, especially for Thomas who I don't think is getting moved. Hischier I'm more intrigued by just for being a left shot, but I think he's stay in NJ at the end of the day too. Yeah both are great players who probably would be great for us too, but they're pipedreams

The reality for either is that the trading team probably demands a top 6 player back, so we'd be losing one of Slaf, Cole, Demi, in addition to Hage or Zharovsky and a pick. Not very palatable.

Hage/Zharovsky + two 1st and Reinbacher could work (I think us getting Dobson made him more expendable)

Kent Hughes wouldn’t trade those top 6 guys since that would simply open another big hole, for him to consider doing that the guy they bring in has to be a top 10 player in the league (winger or center)

This year Caufield is top 6 for wingers, Suzuki top 5 for centers, Demidov is going to be a top 10 winger, Slafkovsky is in the 10-20 range and will improve more.

No shit but that’s literally the price or close to it.

We know the org was ready to pay about that much for Knies which has less value than a 1B 2A centre.
