I take Hage being a future 1st line C with a huge grain of salt at this juncture in his amateur career. As you state, though, his work ethic, to go along with what is obvious talent against his peers right now, is promising.
Hage could help the Habs overcome the failed Dach experiment

I hear he was a menace in Atom hockey.Kid's still only 18. How can there be anything vintage about Hage!?
At 20, there’s still growth in Beck’s game to be had. If Beck get’s a bit stronger, he will easily challenge for a top 6 position. He’s already leads Laval in points and plays in all game situations.
Boldy didn't start to produce until they gave up on him as a centre and put him on Newhook's line. Newhook was doing well before Boldy joined the line. Of course Newhook was the 1c and Boldy 2c when they were both centres,
Also Newhook qualities don't translate to the NHL very well. He's on the smallish side and fast and usually that ain't enough for the NHL. I think his shot is overrated he can have a good shot but he doesn't have the instinct of a goal scorer, I've seen this type of player time and time again and they rarely pan out. Hage has a better frame and better hands from what i can see in the videos. Also he seems to have better instincts.
Or a Japanese warship sunk at the Battle of Midway.Naurato sounds like a Japanese anime character
A man with admiral Nimitz as his profile picture would definitely know all about that !
