However, the Canadiens' second first-round pick had an excellent development camp and shows the potential to become a strong NHL player.
In projections, he is seen as a solid second-line center or a reliable player on a third offensive unit.
During his appearance on Tony Marinaro's popular "Sick Podcast," Simon Snake Boisvert made a bold statement about Michael Hage's future with the Montreal Canadiens.
According to him, Hage is the type of player who can make a significant impact on a team.
«If Michael Hage becomes the center of the 3rd line eventually, the Canadiens are heading to the finals. Because Michael Hage is a heck of a hockey player!»

If that's the case, it will also show that the Canadiens will have a strong top-6 offensively.
Ivan Demidov is expected to join Montreal in 2025, but Michael Hage may not be far behind.
The future looks very promising for Kent Hughes and Canadiens fans.
