MICHAEL HAGE Highlights | 2024 NHL Draft

[@WadeWalker7]

Welcome to Montreal !

[@serasantecommunautaire2038]

Welcome to MTL!

[@AnthonyD2702]

Habs killed it with this draft wow

[@ibelieveinsomething3895]

Yes!!!! Demidov was available !!!! Wtf? Lol

[@John-hr7ew]

Welcome to the Habs young man!!!

[@DonatoWilliams]

He's got that raw talent that I'm sure some teams will be very impressed by. He may be a mid to end 1st round draft choice but I think some team will take him before this.

[@keenanodonoghue4747]

It’s also important to note that his dad passed away during his draft year. I can’t imagine how that would impact a 17-year-old kid away from home

[@nhldraftpros]

Yes...definitely affected him.

[@إسماعيلالأندلسي]

I did'nt know... too bad for that kid.. force to him to overcome this so hard part of his life.

[@keenanodonoghue4747]

I personally think his skating is high end but this is by far the best channel on KZbin

[@nhldraftpros]

I may have been a little too harsh on his skating, but I still think there's another level he can attain and probably will when he's at the U of Michigan next year. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@2001lextalionis]

good stuff, thanks for posting

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@fiasco8930]

All players has good highlights, for me its hard to tell, he has good stats so welcome and i hope you will electrify the bell center.

[@neilcashaback2987]

Love the channel, quality scouting reports, presented well. I'm going to share the hell out of it. I'd like your opinion on ceilings and floors. Thanks

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks for the support! Much appreciated! Yes...considering adding ceilings and floors into videos. Cheers!

[@edwardgray2102]

My habs got Demidov and Hage two game breakers 👍

[@dannewsted4168]

I like Hage at 18th going to the Blackhawks. Could you do a video like this about Sacha Boisvert? I love your hearing analysis on these players

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks for watching! Gonna try to get Boisvert out for sure!

[@CrackerBarrelXheese]

Great video as always. Didn't think Montreal had a real chance at grabbing him so I tried not to get too attached - definitely didn't expect them to trade up to grab him. Really exciting to see if he can unlock another gear with his skating over the next season, I think that'll be a huge factor in how successful he can be with translating his style to the NHL.

[@nhldraftpros]

Hage slipping to Montreal that late was unreal...great pick up!

[@hubertnunes9846]

Michael Hage, you are a Montreal Canadien

[@exzo5145]

Welcome To Montréal Bro 💪

[@stephanebaribeau7465]

One main thing that i like about him : he never needs to look at the puck when he has it. So probably 90% attack awareness.

[@HunterMagunter]

Habs had a hell of a 1st round

[@aliyoun2476]

Insan😮😮😮😮 crazyy GO HABS GO

[@dovy4445]

Would love for you to include nhl player comparison at the end, anyways great analysis!

[@sargio1924]

He could end up being a really really good second center

[@JRoenick]

Would be a great fit for the Hawks.

[@JeanJames-ff3wx]

yall pass on him and demidov tho

[@tonytitani410]

Awesome pick for this great kid by Habs

[@NorthernWarriorHockey]

Might he be a Blackhawk soon?

[@misskj4704]

@@NorthernWarriorHockey That's why I'm here. To see who they might be targeting at 18

[@pat6146]

Whoever takes this guy anywhere from 13-25 will be very happy with this pick

[@jputterman26]

Excellent move by Hughes to trade up to grab Michael. Go Habs!!

[@toddlauretteHabsforlife]

Can't believe we almost got Eiserman too, he went at 20 with NYI, i knew they werent going to pass him up, Eiserman and Caufield on the pp would have been nice, but im so stoked with Demidov, i dont even care! Plus Hage looks decent, a solid 3rd or 4th line center. Every team needs depth, and Habs need all the goal scoring help they can get, it will be so nice to not be in the bottom 10 in the league, in every stat! Future is looking bright. Now trade a couple D for someone who can put the puck in the net now, for some immediate help. Let's Go Habs!!! *Did u hear that dude when they were calling San Jose at the start! Dude was PUMPED! lol. Gotta love hockey fans!!!

[@adecakaship2486]

Unless his style of play really changes, I feel like he will fit a second line better. He could always become a winger, who knows. Just like Dach, some centers are hard to really evaluate at the NHL level. They sometimes need a little less defensive responsabilities to use their full offensive potential. We'll see, but I feel like he's more of a top 6 type of player. I have no idea if he'll be able to reach this potential in the NHL, but that's where his style of play would fit best IMO.

[@JeanJames-ff3wx]

he can play on centee dach on right and slaf or cole on left for second line

[@jasonsonier2265]

I have him #13 in my personal ranking, which seems higher than most. He just seems to check all the right boxes.

[@nhldraftpros]

His rankings are starting to escalate, so may not be too far off to be honest!

[@Briserlaglace-podcast]

I feel you, I ranked him 9th in April 😅

[@kittyhawkwb]

The Wings should take him at #15, same spot where they took Larkin, who also went to Michigan . . .

[@nhldraftpros]

May be a pick to grab there!

[@إسماعيلالأندلسي]

There's already Kasper and Danielson so no point adding a third C in that pipeline while top 6 Winger is a big Hole surely Yzerman will not stockpile another C there's plenty of talented natural wingers at 15 like MBN, Greentree etc

[@BrentNinedorf]

@@إسماعيلالأندلسي You can always move centers to wing if need be. We need elite offense. He is a 6’1” to 6’2” (from some comments) right handed center that can get to the middle of the ice to create offense. I would consider that for sure. Wingers generally are easier to acquire in trade or free agency. I agree that we need size and Hage seems to have that. Don’t know what combine numbers will show there. Wouldn’t be disappointed with him if he is our number 15 pick. Will be interesting to see how things shake out after picks 9 or 10. Could see teams going different directions. We lack more explosive high octane offensive players in our pipeline. Hage would be going to a quality school and program in Michigan so would have a lot of connections to allow for communication on his development.

[@grant2156]

I totally agree. You can never have too many center prospects, and he’s a totally different player than Danielson and Kasper are. Right handed is a plus as well. I’d take him over BN for sure

[@إسماعيلالأندلسي]

@@BrentNinedorf Hage is a really good offensive player but he's not fast and is pretty meh on the defensive side of the game which is not that much appealing as a C if the goal is to turn him as a Winger better taking MBN who has the total package he's more of an Yzerman's pick anyway

[@guillaumelegault1925]

Bienvenue à Montréal

[@italian1ist]

Apparently he’s listed at 6’1 but is actually 6’2 which will probably make teams value him more.

[@nhldraftpros]

Definitely! Once all the prospects get to the combine in June and get correct measurements, it will give us true heights and weights.

[@JeanJames-ff3wx]

pass on him

[@italian1ist]

You are literally the only scouting outlet I’ve seen that graded his skating as “average at best” every other outlet whether its the athletic, the hockey writers or the various other scouting YT channels have rated his skating very good or at the worst average. Not sure why there’s such a big difference.

[@nhldraftpros]

Wording may have been a little off there for sure...I'd say he's a little above average skater, but he could reach a higher level with more training. He's got the foundations to be a better skater for sure!

[@italian1ist]

@@nhldraftprosI completely agree
