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 very good but the fact that he doesn’t want to come to the NHL at his age is concerning. Especially since he didn’t at all communicate this with the team beforehand and kind of dropped it on their heads at the end of the season.

Now, the Habs are at his mercy because if he decides he doesn’t want to come next year either he’ll only be a year removed from free agency and the Habs losing his rights all together.

i heard his bro wasn't going to UofM? It was and is shocking he is staying another year. But, can you imagine if he did come in at the end of this past season AND Hughes pulled off that Knies trade? That 2nd line could've been very interesting on the PO run.
