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

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.
 
"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.

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.

...yup...great idea to start up this shytestorm debate...tag team it with the debate about all the shyte down south...now we just all hate each other...Putin wins (had to get the Russia Debate in there somewhere, right??)...and if Putin wins, Demidov doesn't come over...we all lose...so:

:thumbu:


...and yes, I'm aware that I was the arsehole that started the shyte last night/early this morning, so see this as me turning over a new leaf...hug it out, kids!!...:biglaugh:





...and yes, I'm totally lying about turning over a new leaf...🤣

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.

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

Not really. Hage was injured and his father died. In normal circumstances he would've been top 10 in a much better draft than 2025.

What Desnoyers is doing in the Q doesn't lend itself to be higher than PPG on a shit team in a hypothetical Div1 D+1 season in the NCAA.

And maybe put on the reading glasses because my initial post said Hage is further ahead FOR NOW.
