As of today, Michael Hage is on track to start the upcoming season in the NCAA. He could, at any time, sign his entry-level contract and play in the NHL (or the AHL) in 2026–27. The veteran journalist, while discussing the forward's situation, stated that if the Canadiens had wanted to sign Hage, he'd probably already be here.
