Love this pick, I think Michael can fill Eller skates at least, and eventually can play the game like a bigger Plekanec.
He's a prototypical Habs center pick.

Second most interesting man in the world.
I wanted to keep Monahan, but I feel chastised right now. Outrageously positive outcome.

I was thinking the same way. I had totally forgotten about Hage. My first thought was how happy LG was going to be, if we got Eiserman. I'm thrilled with this pick though. I look forward to following his progression in Michigan.

I'll go to sleep, but I count on you to hype me up, about this pick, don't disappoint me please. 
Is anybody still complaining about moving up? We've only been asking for it for months,
They obviously had their sights set higher but took what they could good beans...

Hah! That was exactly me. My buddy was like, were you not hyping up Hage earlier today?

This kid is a guaranteed NHLer. The question is whether he’ll become a 2C, 2RW, 3C or 3RW
Nope, was definitely worthwhile, but it was a gamble to pull it before the 1 OA is announced.

I know it doesn't mean THAT much but I always love when we pick players that are Habs fans. We're a special bunch. Also impressed by his french! Already better than Michel Therrien's!

Hage is a canadian playing in the ushl/college, so odds are against him to make Canada wjc team
I wanted one of the beasts but they fell just before we could get one. It was a great move considering the selections in and around 21.
Hage is a super consolation prize.
I'm not sure how you came up with this theory? He is a Canadian and a first round pick he'll certainly get looked at.He's going to Michigan which is NCAA. Where did Fantilli play where did Makar play? If he's good enough he plays.

Years. MB's elevator only went down, after the Tinordi debacle. HuGo's travels both ways.
We can still pick up Laine or another talent whose stock has tanked, like Monahan's did.It's going to be awfully boring this summer.

I don't believe he was even invited to the U-18 camp though I would need to double check that to make sure.
I meant getting a chuckle over the angst we normally see.
The trade stuff and free agency are definitely interesting but our hands are still shackled too tightly for my liking.
It's funny you mention MB's elevator I'm going to mention his dumpster diving. Kent needs to start filling a dumpster.

no, he was slated to join them in '25-'26 but I heard he was bumped up to '24-'25.
