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