'An Incredible Player': Canadiens Prospect Given Praise by First Overall Pick Matthew Schaefer
It's safe to officially say that Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens nailed their pick by selecting Michael Hage in the 2024 NHL Draft.
The Canadiens' 21st overall pick in 2024 continues to impress scouts - and even his own teammates.
Matthew Schaefer, the first overall pick by the New York Islanders in 2025, had some very kind words about his Team Canada teammate at the WJSS.
"Michael Hage is an incredible player."

We love to hear it!
It's no surprise that Kent Hughes made a trade with the Los Angeles Kings to move up in the draft and acquire Hage.
He really wanted him!

It's starting to become a pattern - more and more people are saying the same thing about the Canadiens prospect.
It truly looks like a great pickup for the Habs. We're genuinely excited to watch his development over the coming weeks.
"Canadiens prospect Michael Hage scored a goal and added an assist in Canada's Red-White scrimmage on Tuesday.
But Misha Donskov, an associate coach on Canada's World Junior staff, was most impressed with the intensity the Michigan centre showed"

If all goes well - similar to Ivan Demidov last season and Lane Hutson in 2024 - Michael Hage could join the Montreal Canadiens lineup late in the upcoming season.
Stay tuned!
