For many fans and analysts of the Montreal Canadiens, the rebuilding process is coming to an end, if not already over: the club's most important young players have joined the team, and are performing at the highest level with the Blue, White and Red.

However, we mustn't forget that the Habs still have a number of prospects who haven't yet made it to the NHL, and who have great potential. Michael Hage is clearly one of these prospects. The 19-year-old forward, drafted 21st overall in 2024, is simply dominating in his second season in the NCAA, as he headlines the University of Michigan.

In just six games, Hage already has 11 points, including five goals, and scored his fifth goal of the campaign last night as Michigan won 10-2 over Robert Morris University.

Even though he was up against a very weak team, Hage's performance must be commended, as he made a superb on-goal reception for this goal, in addition to recording seven shots on goal.

What's even more impressive about the Habs prospect's season so far is that his 11 points are all primary points.

This means that, out of 11 points, Hage hasn't registered a single secondary assist, so the Habs prospect's 11 points have either come from a perfect shot, or a direct pass to a teammate for a goal.

Hage is off to an excellent start to the season, on track to break his 34-point mark in 33 points of his rookie season. At this rate of production, he would have around 60 points after 33 games.

In short, we continue to follow Hage's performances with the University of Michigan very closely, while we all look forward to him (potentially) coming to Montreal after his NCAA season.

– Obviously.

– The last game of a season of misery for CF Montreal.

– To be continued.

– We wish him well.
