Enormous statement on Montreal Canadiens prospect Michael Hage
According to one of the prospect experts from DailyFaceoff, Steven Ellis, the team led by Kent Hughes has acquired another top-10 talent from this year's draft in addition to Ivan Demidov.
It's the 21st pick of the Canadiens, Michael Hage.
The vast majority of hockey analysts agree that the Canadiens had a very successful draft, but analyst Steven Ellis also adds that selecting Michael Hage is probably a stroke of genius.
According to Steven Ellis, Michael Hage would be a top-10 talent overall. He even adds that the young 6-foot-1 forward could become an impactful player in the NHL.
Here are his exact words:
If it weren't for his injury, he could have contended for a spot in the top 10 overall. He is a natural scorer with a good skating stride and he likes to hit.
I want him to gain some weight and learn to use his size a bit more, but I think there are good chances he becomes the team's number 2 center in the future."
- Steven Ellis
Hage seems to be the type of player the organization has been looking for a long time. Versatile, complete, tall, big, fast, and physical.
He accumulated a solid 75 points in 54 games last season with the Chicago Steel, including 43 points in his last 25 games.
