D Nicolas Hague - Missisauga Steelheads, OHL (2017, 34th, VGK)

[Dominance]

Hague is really good, but, like, slow down, Max.

He’s just trying his best to make friends.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Another game,another goal,another 2 points. Hague's a beast.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He has to make the Golden Knights at this rate. Been the most impressive player in the preseason in my opinion. I think they could put him in palce of Jon Merrill even.

 

[KILLger]

Wouldn't their best be Brannstrom?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Wouldn't their best be Brannstrom?

Yeah, with a slight margin i think.

 

[LeafChief]

Good for Hague for progressing so nicely.

I was quite interested in him in his draft year.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

There was an even earlier Nicolas Hague prospects thread than this one a full year before he was even draft eligible. I still recall watching him in Mississauga that year and being impressed by him. Happy to see it looking like he is reaching that projected potential. Should have gone in the first rd, but good for VGK they stole him in the 2nd rd in a draft that was not supposed to be that deep.

 

[CheeseMcCheese]

The kid has been a stud so far but men did kovalchuk went around him like it was nothing on his goal

 

[KILLger]

Solid stats. Anyone to comment his play?

 

[wings5]

A defenceman who nearly scored 40g in junior is insane. Excited to potentially see him and Brannstrom on Vegas' blueline.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Wouldn't surprised at all of if Hague plays in the NHL this season.

 

[Dominance]

His toolbox is really just as good as it gets. I don’t think his hockey IQ is super high although he does the little things (i.e. getting shots through) very well, but his mean streak and passion to win makes up for any of that. In the OHL, players were notably hesitant to go into his corner or go to the front of the net. Definite and significant 1D potential if he can fine tune his defensive play and continue to develop physically. Sky’s the limit.

Also, seems to me like he and Brannstrom would compliment one another perfectly...

ughhh... i loved hague when i watched him in his draft year, wanted the blues to take him at 31(thought he should've gone in the 1st)..... don't hate the kostin pick but would've loved to have Hague with edmundson and dunn down the left side.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Viewed Hague the other night, as always when I see him play, I was impressed. He's a good one.

VGK send Hague back to minors, idiots. - i guess they believe playing in the #1 d-man role for Wolves helps him or something,..
rather that playing #5, #6 d-man role in the NHL.. i disagree, but what ever.

Hague will play in the NHL this season thou, at one point, that's pretty obvious.
In my mind, he would of improved VGK defense right away.

Those Vegas d get injured a bit, he will get the call soon enough.

Let the Wolves jump start him getting first pairing minutes. Hopefully George has a decent enough plan.

lol it was a cap move for day 1.

Just a wee bit of an overreaction...

Are you better George? Is Hague on your fantasy team?
