I was kind of surprised based on their roster, and then somebody told me they don't have a ton of prospects, so it kind of makes sense.

Well, still, if they are light in the prospect pool, it gives them a better chance in the future.

And then Michael Hage, who we talked about the incredible story of losing his father and Montreal Canadiens draft pick, he's going back to school.

So Michigan, they'll look to finally get a win.

Now, I think a lot of people were surprised.

What I've been told is, and this could be wrong,

If he hadn't sprained his ankle and gotten injured, he might have left and he could be playing for the Canadians right now.

But the injury... Agreed.

It adds some different aspects.

And now he goes back.

He signs after next season.

You still burn that year.

And then you're playing on the Canadians next year if everything goes according to plan.

So I kind of get that.

I also think it's probably more fun playing in...

than it is in the AHL if he were to be in the AHL, but the injury definitely changed.

There were some deficiencies in his game.

Well, he was hurt.

And when he throws fraud around, it's actually been, I don't want to say correct, but he's closer to correct than incorrect when he gives a team a fraud name.

I will stick around.
