Don’t project too far.Demidov will make Suzuki a 90 point center. Slaf don't have the hands to play top 6. Slaf make good second liner, with Desnoyers be ideal. Lol. With Dach on wing. Hage on third line, with Heineman

Can tell way Suzuki performed when Slaf played well second half of last season. Slaf only 50 point player, maybe 60 career year. He can't score unless on top of net. Put 100 point guy in that line watch what happens?Don’t project too far.

The statement feels pretty accurate for some of us anglo fans. Y'all like your hometown prospects, but the hype gets a little out of control sometimes. We don't often begrudge you your preferences, but it be a little tiresome when the over-rating gets that little bit out of control."I know it's almost mandatory to overrate Quebec players..."
Assertions like these suggest that the opposite is true of you, where it sounds like, for you, it is mandatory to devalue Quebec players?
It goes beyond the phrasing of your posit.
I love how people hate everything Russia unless he's a really good hockey player lol
Hage is a superior prospect to Desnoyers, for now. Hage is having an equal D+1 to Caufield's. Desnoyers is not there yet, and might never be. I know it's almost mandatory to overrate Quebec players, still, it shows a bias that discounts what Hage has done so far, in a better league.

Where does McKenna fit in all this lolDon’t project too far.

The kid is insane. A maestro. A savant. An artist. Ethereal. Cerebral. He brings hope to the hopeless, turns agony into joy. He will return our franchise to glory.
Hage is only ahead right now because he is further in his development, being in his D+1 while Desnoyers is in his draft yearJsuis québécois français, alors Scriptor peut aller se réhabiller. I just don't live by idiotic tribal biases. I leave that to the emotionally staunted.
And yes, someone would need a major pro-french-quebec bias to put Desnoyers ahead of Hage right now. Hage is objectively ahead, doing great in a better league.
Hage is only ahead right now because he is further in his development, being in his D+1 while Desnoyers is in his draft year
If you compare their respective draft years instead, Desnoyers easily comes out ahead. He will deservedly be picked top 5-10 this year
Demidov went 5th last year......he is in a tier above Desnoyers as is last years draft compared to this year's so comparing Hage's draft position to Desnoyers projected position is a meaningless excercise. Surely you aren't going to argue that Desnoyers is comparable to Demidov if he gets selected 5th OA???Hage is only ahead right now because he is further in his development, being in his D+1 while Desnoyers is in his draft year

This is a joke argument, Buddy. I've seen French Quebecers have some of the biggest anti French Quebec biases.Jsuis québécois français, alors Scriptor peut aller se réhabiller. I just don't live by idiotic tribal biases. I leave that to the emotionally staunted.

He might deservedly be picked ahead of Hage's selection ranking in this year's draft, but the data is extremely raw and neither player is/was a blue chip prospect. a year of development can make a huge difference and nobody nows how Desnoyers will improve or not, but they have seen how well Hage has fared.Hage is only ahead right now because he is further in his development, being in his D+1 while Desnoyers is in his draft year
If you compare their respective draft years instead, Desnoyers easily comes out ahead. He will deservedly be picked top 5-10 this year
Anything can be extrapolated because there is absolutely no way of knowing/proving alternate realities.Demidov went 5th last year......he is in a tier above Desnoyers as is last years draft compared to this year's so comparing Hage's draft position to Desnoyers projected position is a meaningless excercise. Surely you aren't going to argue that Desnoyers is comparable to Demidov if he gets selected 5th OA???
I don't know that Desnoyers goes top 10 in last years draft and if Hage was not coming off a major knee injury and dealing with the death of his father he doesn't get off to the slow start that he did and very possibly goes top 10. They are very close in value and both have been at the top of their age group from AAA to the present. You can not have an honest conversation about these two if you disregard Hage missing almost his entire D-1 season, the huge disparity in draft quality between their respective drafts and the death of his father shortly before the beginning of his draft year. The second half of that year he was absolutely dominating the USHL and it was shocking to me that he was even available at #21 as Hughes and company were still trying to move up further to increase the odds of drafting him.
It can not remotely be argued that Desnoyers would go later in last years draft and that a healthy Hage would have went higher. The end result is just splitting hairs on a highly subjective topic.
I love both of these players so this is not a Hage propaganda session, it is just providing context and nuance to a claim that was entirely devoid of either.
You mean totally demoralize him. He might take the first plane back to Russia,...he'll start on the 3rd line with NewJob and PowerhorseStonehands...break him in slowly...![]()
No. Hage comes out ahead when you evaluate talent. Both should be very good players. Hage has the talent to be better.Hage is only ahead right now because he is further in his development, being in his D+1 while Desnoyers is in his draft year

... They also have very good steroidsI love how people hate everything Russia unless he's a really good hockey player lol

Don't you know that Hughes asked his Russian coach to get him used to play on 3rd and 4th lines ?You mean totally demoralize him. He might take the first plane back to Russia,
