Online Observer's Bold Trade Proposal Emerges Involving Canadiens Star Prospect and Sabres

One fan, however, thinks the Canadiens should trade Hage to get a player who could help the team immediately.

The Canadiens rely on several extremely talented young players, including Ivan Demidov, Lane Hutson, Noah Dobson, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, Kaiden Guhle, David Reinbacher, Zachary Bolduc, and Nick Suzuki.

However, the organization also has several prospects to watch in the coming years. Alexander Zharovsky, the 34th overall pick in 2025, excites the fans.

The big forward Hayden Paupanekis is likely to draw attention in the coming months. In addition to his imposing physique, he is a skilled puck-handler who can stand out offensively.

In my opinion, Bryce Pickford is probably the most underrated prospect who will quickly rise in value among Canadiens fans. Selected in the 3rd round, 81st overall, this young defenseman has immense talent and is impressive with the puck.

In the coming years, I am confident that Pickford's name will join Hutson, Dobson, Guhle, and Reinbacher on the blue line.

L.J. Mooney and Aatos Koivu are excellent, but Michael Hage ranks very high on the club's top prospect list. Drafted by Montreal 21st overall in 2024, the Oakville native already has many strong qualities to reach the NHL in the near future.

While several experts believe Michael Hage will become the Canadiens' number 2 center, one fan goes in a very different direction, and I want to share their suggestion to hear your opinion.

Before going further, I want to clarify that, in my opinion, their trade offer is really not sufficient, but it's the idea behind it that interests me most.

Of course, Kevyn Adams would never agree to trade his star forward in such a deal, and Tage Thompson would cost much more.

However, what I want to know is: would you be willing to sacrifice a high-level prospect like Hage to improve the team immediately?

The Canadiens want to take the next step and aim higher next season, but there are still a few pieces missing in the lineup.

And you already know that, to bring in good players, you have to be willing to pay the right price.
