Major Reinforcements Expected for the Canadiens' Offense, According to Source from Michigan Hinting at Hage

Indeed, many declared that the selection of Michael Hage was a huge win for the Montreal Canadiens, especially outside of the top 20.

Now, a few months later, we can say that he hasn't disappointed since the start of the season, getting off to an impressive start with the University of Michigan team in the NCAA.

In six games this year, Hage has tallied seven points, including four goals, and has earned praise from one of his coaches, Rob Rassey, who already compares him to the elite of college hockey.

However, it's a statement from a journalist covering the Michigan team that is likely to excite Canadiens fans.

In an article by TVA Sports journalist Nicolas Cloutier, Graham Baker, who has covered college hockey in the Michigan area for years for the Michigan Daily, suggested that Michael Hage could find himself in Montreal by the end of this season.

This is quite a bold statement from the journalist, as it's quite rare to see a mid-first-round pick make the jump to the NHL at just 18 years old.

However, this speaks volumes about the potential of the Canadiens' young prospect, whom many see as the future third-line center once the team becomes a formidable contender.
