The Canadiens haven’t given up on the idea of signing Michael Hage.
We’ve just learned of a major development in this situation.
Surprise! Kent Hughes is still trying to convince Hage to start the season in Montreal.
That’s what Jeff Marek revealed on his podcast, The Sheet.
It’s a report that reopens a situation many believed had already been settled for good.
The Canadiens are still searching for their long-awaited second-line centre, and Hage would represent an internal solution to that pressing need.
According to Marek, the Hage option hasn’t been forgotten.
The possibility of seeing him begin the season with the NHL club remains very much on the table.
The young centre appeared set to return to Michigan for a third season, but the door has now opened again.
A stunning twist in this situation.
Alexander Hage’s decision reopens Canadiens talks
A recent announcement could change everything.
Michael’s brother, Alexander, will no longer play alongside him at the university next season, despite that being the original plan.
He has officially changed his mind.
That factor carried significant weight in Michael’s decision to stay in school. But now that his brother has reversed course, will Michael Hage do the same?
Whatever the reason, the Canadiens continue to push.
When a club works this hard to sign a prospect, it shows how strongly it believes in his short-term potential.
A decision is drawing closer as training camp rapidly approaches.
