«They added two of the best forwards in the draft, one of whom is an elite player and the other is a center with excellent skating (Hage is one of the best skaters in the draft), offensive skills (he receives high marks in this class here too), and a profile that I love.
[...]
And Hage could be my favorite prospect in the draft. I think he has every chance to lead a long career as a top player. I've compared him to Jordan Kyrou, and I think that's within reach.»
