Prospect Info: [2024 - 21st] Michael Hage, Chicago Steel (USHL), Committed to U of Michigan

[KevSkillz4]

I think Habs were aiming at Hage or Boisvert when they moved up.

I think they have Hage higher on their list than Boisvert.

Can't wait to see the video of draft 2024 room with Habs scouts. He will likely to see that they are all high on Michael Hage!

I think the Habs were hoping for one of Boisvert or Hage with the 21st. I wonder what they would have done if Eiserman were still there instead of Hage though.

Take Hage.

I agree with you. Both were not going to be available and they had them in the same tier.

If I was going to bet, I think Boisvert was before from report we had before the draft

Take Eiserman. I think they were hoping for him too.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Take Eiserman. I think they were hoping for him too.

The uni-dimensional goal scorer, who refers to himself in the third person and thinks his defensive game is good, and has to be motivated to do defensive drills by his coach in junior?

I doubt they took him over Hage.

 

[Redux91]

Take Eiserman. I think they were hoping for him too.

If Cole Caufield didn't exist and wasn't already on our team, I could maybe see it

But no, they were not taking him, clearly targeting C with that pick
And everyone knows it was for either Boisvert or Hage

Dunno but they certainly did not expect Eiserman to be there.

Talent is still talent.

And its instead of Hage, not over Hage. The context was if Eiserman was there instead of Hage.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Take Eiserman. I think they were hoping for him too.

Marinaro reported the habs would've taken Hage over Eiserman if both were there.

If Dach doesn't end up working, then the habs will have a hole at 2C, so it made a lot of sense for the habs to target a center with their 2nd first round pick.

They may have traded the pick for McGroarty.

 

[FrankMTL]

Hard to know for sure who they had higher. I hope they do another behind the scenes video of the draft. I mean we more than likely won't get an answer but sometimes they drop a few clues. It's always interesting.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

They may have traded the pick for McGroarty.

All those available options were as good as McGroaty, without the drama.

 

[Gustave]

The uni-dimensional goal scorer, who refers to himself in the third person and thinks his defensive game is good, and has to be motivated to do defensive drills by his coach in junior?

I doubt they took him over Hage.

Imagine that guy in the room… pretty sure the culture threshold wasn’t met with the screening of Eiserman.

 

[Sterling Archer]

I think Habs were aiming at Hage or Boisvert when they moved up.

Hughes was very specific when he said they were targeting Hage and would move the pick if he wasn’t there. Not sure ever even considered Boisvert.

[KevSkillz4]

I can't wait to see the progression of Demidov and Hage. I have big hope for both.

I would be happy with 30-35 pts in 40-45 games in KHL for Demidov.

I would be happy between 1,25 and 1,5 ppg in NCAA for Hage (that's a good production in NCAA). If it's more, that's a total bonus. But if he reach that type of production, that's confirm his high potential top 6.

They don't like it when you go to the US route. You have to be Celebrini level for them to consider it.

If he has the kind of start many believe he can have in the ncaa, I wouldnt worry about him not getting the invite to the real camp in december.

Hughes was very specific when he said they were targeting Hage and would move the pick if he wasn’t there. Not sure ever even considered Boisvert.

Of course, he said so.

Of course, he said so.

He didn’t have to say that. He could’ve just said he was the player they wanted with the pick. He didn’t have to say he would’ve traded it away if Hage wasn’t there. Add in the McGroarty trade rumours and it makes even more sense.

Not the first time they do something like that, and that's f***ing stupid, take the best guy and that's it.
