Surprise signature to come for Kent Hughes? The possibility is discussed for the impressive Michael Hage
Kent Hughes is working to improve the Canadiens' offense year after year, and he is on his way to assembling a dynamic attack.
This includes the many young players and veterans from the current roster, as well as the prospects who will arrive in the coming months and years.
Among these prospects, the name Michael Hage must be mentioned, as he should not be underestimated. The 21st overall pick from the recent draft could arrive in Montreal sooner than we think.
According to Simon Snake Boisvert, the possibility that he signs at the end of his NCAA season is very real, which would allow him to finish the season with the Canadiens.
In his first game with the University of Michigan, Michael Hage recorded two assists. In his second game, he scored one goal and added an assist, totaling 4 points in 2 games.
Two games do not make a season, but a young man entering the NCAA at 18 years old and averaging a point per game is rare. Cole Caufield did it, and he already has a 65-point season in the NHL at 23 years old, giving you an idea.
Reality might hit Michael Hage, and he could go several games without producing, but I have a feeling that won't happen. Being drafted by the Canadiens has been his dream forever, and it was also his late father's dream.
Being selected by the CH is an invaluable source of motivation for him, and I'm sure he will have the knife between his teeth all season.
We must not forget that Michael Hage is compared to Jack Eichel for his on-ice behavior.
He finished 4th in the entire USHL last year, with a total of 75 points in 54 games. It is easier to understand why the Canadiens' management was speechless to see him still available at 21st overall.
