This allows us to learn more about the players acquired by the Habs in the 2024 draft, including, of course, Ivan Demidov and Michael Hage, but also other more underrated names.

Sawyer has always been considered one of the best hockey players in his age group in Toronto, at the same level as Michael Hage, but his success in lacrosse led him to play in the BCHL, a lower-level hockey league.

"With Logan Sawyer, he was competing with Michael Hage growing up with all these young Toronto players. They were an elite duo. Then he started playing lacrosse in the spring and summer, while Hage played hockey year-round.

So, you know, we could be getting one of the best players in Toronto in this age group, who turned out to be an elite lacrosse player, who plays a lot of lacrosse and recently decided to go to the BCHL.

He took a different path, but at 6'2", in Providence, with that brain and 'dual threat ability,' he's a player who sees the game and has the skills of a top-6 forward."

"As for Sawyer, from what I saw during this tournament, I think he has pretty high potential thanks to his size, skills, and playmaking abilities. He's not afraid to play physically and throw hits."

- Billy Ryan
