The Canadian, in the coming years, wants to make room for young people. But they won’t all arrive at the same time.

In 2024-2025, it was the full-time arrival of Lane Hutson in Montreal. He is performing very well and even has a chance to bring the Calder Trophy home, if all goes well.

Next year? It will be Ivan Demidov’s year.

There are several names that will be added to Demidov in the coming years. But in the very short term, we should not expect Michael Hage’s name to be among them.

In fact, next year, everyone expects to see him return to the NCAA.

This is the formula used by the CH with its top prospects in the United States (Cole Caufield, Jacob Fowler, Lane Hutson, etc.) and Michael Hage is not dominant enough to force the hand of his bosses in Montreal.

And that’s what his coach says: Hage needs to dominate even more before making the jump to the pros. Jean-François Chaumont reported it all.

Hage was given the challenge of dominating in the second half of the season and it didn’t happen. He’s good and does the job among the good players on his team, but he doesn’t dominate.

Is it the end of the world at his age? No. After all, 32 points in 30 games at 18 years old, that’s excellent. There are two regular season games left in his season, but that won’t change everything.

But with one more year of training in the university context, he will be able to move to another level and be even more ready to make a difference in the Canadian organization.

Another year at Michigan and one in Laval, that should bring him to a good port. Right?


In rafale

– Tough blow.

– Cole Caufield: game changer. [BPM Sports]

– Yes, Jake Evans is in demand.

– Note.
