He was 21 years old most of last season...
Other than size, Newhook fits what the habs want.

The Habs want to build around the 21-23 age group.
Those 2nd round picks would have been on the team maybe in 5 years with some luck.
Also, we have a grand total of 0 Habs' 2nd round picks on the team right now. Hutson will probably be here soon enough but Newhook is a really good guess for the price.

I do Three bullets.
At first, feels like a bit of overpay
I'm shocked 31st alone couldn't get it done
Would of been nice to grab a G at 37
But hey, we wanted Newhook bad in that Caufield draft too lol
Dach and Newhook from that year now too lol
Let's see if it works

30 points back to back in his first 2 NHL seasons isint all that bad , the softness and lack of playoff impact is more of a headscratcher to me

Newhook is going to produce more than 31 or 37 would for us, IMO. I have confidence it will be Dach-like when he gets ice time and more offensive responsibilities. Sometimes you get pegged into a hole on your current team (aka Arturri Lehkonen here) and a change of scenery helps you break that mold.
Seriously, I don't remember Sakic making to many bad trade. Another small player in the team. The first round and a third round should be enough for a 30pts player with potential.

This seems like a very steep price for a small, 30 point forward.
I guess the trade might make sense in a context where done other vets are going.

I know that tomorrow....I won't like the deal. 31 and 37....where you probably could get a future No1 goalie and another really great pick....But Newhook still has, I hope, some untapped potential.
Let's hope he's closer to Dach potential than to Jost...

Newhook, somehow, is worth more than Lehkonen.
Okay.

I’m at a loss about this move in terms of optimizing asset mix.
Is Newhook still a center or has he been principally used as a winger on the Avs?
Really like Newhook, habs weren't getting a good player at #31 anyway. However def need to pick up some 2nd round picks in trades here.
Who will he displace in the lineup?
Everybody here was raving that we shouldn.t give Dach for Dubois... so where does that leave Newhook... Is he a defensive specialist to replace Evans? Do they intend to convert him as a winger to replace Drouin?
