The Montreal Canadiens have heavily invested in the draft over the past few years, and this could pay off in the long run.
The Tricolore's impressive prospect pool is frequently discussed. While players like Ivan Demidov, Lane Hutson, David Reinbacher, and Logan Mailloux are known for their potential, we must also remember the team's second first-round pick from June.
Michael Hage wowed everyone at the development camp. He showcased the qualities of a first-round NHL pick and also demonstrated the potential to secure a long-term spot.
Although the sample size is small, Hage possesses several attributes that could make him a valuable asset for the Canadiens in their rebuild.
An interview with Michael Hage has resurfaced, in which he compares himself to Jack Eichel. In fact, he is heavily inspired by how the Vegas Golden Knights center plays on the ice.
"I really like Jack Eichel and the way he uses his size; he's a fluid skater who is very creative. I enjoy analyzing his game and then trying to replicate it to benefit from it." - Michael Hage
When comparing the two players and their measurements, it's evident that there are similarities between the two centers.
Could Michael Hage become a future Jack Eichel? Some observers believe he could.
