My rule (if I weren't married) would be , if she doesn't know Weird Science and Commando, it won't be a good match

Unless she goes Weird Commando.
I'm not sure if it was already confirmed elsewhere, but Hughes just confirmed that the Habs were fully ready to welcome Hage and let him play in Montreal or Laval, but also fully support his decision. It's not a matter of if, but when he signs.

He gone
I'm open to trading him in the right deal.
Kind of cruel on a personal level but he also showed signing to wear the CH was not a top priority for him. Given NHL schedule starts earlier next season, we could be done before NCAA season ends for him so he might not play for us until 27-28

It’s not a 100% guarantee Hage won’t have a change of heart as Cooley did last summer and sign an ELC…

Not an attitude anyone likes, if true.
Ideally, you want the dude to think “I’m gonna play so well, you won’t dare send me to Laval next season”

Apparently the reasoning is this:
1) Wants to get stronger/bulk up.
2) Wants to be the “man” at C. Face-offs, PK, etc. Be a complete player.
Figures it’s easier to get there with 40 game schedule plus top class facilities.
Unstated:
- Michigan campus life with NIL
- Avoids AHL meathead grind and long bus rides

He’s been bulking up for two years —I don’t think his size is an issue. It will keep filling out.
He can learn face offs and PK with the best of our coaches. Nobody is expecting him to come in and play Pk right away, or take important late game dzone faceoffs
There might be other things going on. Hughes said “I won’t get into all the details”
He could easily have said, “there’s stuff he needs to work on”
Instead he said he wanted Hage to sign now

Really? There is a better option than signing a contract to play for your childhood team?

Yeah...very puzzled, and i'm sure most don't have a good feeling about this going forward.
What's weird is that Habs media have been feeding us this Hage propaganda all season (a lot has come from media used by Habs management to push their agenda in public....we kinda know who they are)....
So this is a slap in the face for management, but Brisson-Hughes will sort things out, maybe Hage wants to dictate where he's traded (if Leafs rumours are true) and this is his only way of getting leverage

No top end American or Canadian offensive talent will go AHL way…. Those days are over, it’s a league to develop bottom-6 / 3rd pairing Dman & G
NIL is about to kick in for US High Schools, I predict Cdn kids will start showing more interest in US prep schools.
The entire hockey ecosystem is about to reset
