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

[Habs Halifax]

Too early to know what they have. Late picks are hit and miss. Could pan out or could be another Mesar.

I don't have Mesar vibes with Hage. Hage to me is a in your face type with the size and skill. Mesar is a soft winger.

Hage could be our next Dach type IMO.

Hage could be our next Dach type IMO.

Let’s hope he can pan out better than that

Hage is a much more fluid skater than Dach. And Hage has much more growth in that area as he matures and gains mass and strength.

 

[Beaker]

Beautiful goal by Hage

 

[The Great Weal]

Kid is really good, feels nice to potentially hit on a forward without needing a top 15 pick.

 

[KFlint]

A center that can score, that’s refreshing…!

 

[Hacketts]

dirty

Don't get too excited

Don't .... f*** it

Kid is going to have a monster year that pushes him firmly into the top 10, if not top 5, of the draft class by year end

Demidov / Hage on ELC contracts is going to be a huge part of ramping up to contention earlier than people expect.

2025-26 they will both earn top 9 spots
2026-27 they will be pushing for top 6 roles
26-27 we will have a top 9 that no one can match

Book it.

Could he possibly have a better year than Cole's 1st NCAA season lol?

He will be ready for Habs practices at least….

Didn’t watch the game but based on the clip alone he might have been taking advantage of gassed players on the other team. They looked gassed to me.

CC had 36 pts in 36 games in his first season. Hage is currently pacing for a lot more than that (but it's only 5 games)

The offense in the NCAA changed since 2019 and before. The league is more offensive in the last 2-3 years i’d say.

That’s a post that understand the rebuild , not a thread about the coach and failing to see at what stage we are
