Habs prospect Owen Protz makes crazy statement about Michael Hage

In the last few hours, we were just talking about the young Owen Protz, who seems to be quite a physical specimen.

Well, this time, it was Protz's (the Canadiens' 4th round pick in 2024) turn to talk about another summer acquisition of the Canadiens.

Indeed, there are more and more positive comments about Hage.

In an interview with Grant McCagg and Shayne Gaumont, Protz had much to say about the Canadiens' second first-round pick in 2024 (21st overall).

What were his first impressions of Michael Hage when he saw him play?

We are not ready for the quality of player he is.

It's interesting to see a new Canadiens acquisition talking about another new Canadiens acquisition in this way.

If we trust Owen Protz's comments (and several other experts), Kent Hughes made a good move with the acquisition of Michael Hage in the first round of the 2024 draft.

It's exciting.

And if we trust some of Owen Protz's opponents' comments, Kent Hughes acquired a very strong player with his 102nd overall pick in 2024.

Only time will tell, but for now, good acquisitions seem to have been made in Las Vegas.
