Confirmed with Link: Alex Newhook for 31st, 37th and Fairbrother

Yeah, pretty sure I heard similar stuff about Caufield too...

Last year he paced for 51 points and 22 goals. Was red hot before getting hurt. Please don't tell me this kid has no talent and there's no way he can be a 60 point guy. Of course he can.

That being said, the whole team sucks right now. He's not going to suddenly carry us. He's a complimentary player who provides speedy secondary scoring. Absolutely zero wrong with that. But he's not going to do it when the team is drowning.

He looked much better last season but that pace was also with lots of icetime because Dached missed 80 games, not sure he gets that opportunity ever again.
It's a bit like saying RHP could score 30 goals because of what he did when CC was hurt.

Right now we have five top six quality players in the lineup. If the team was firing properly he'd be getting decent points and lots of opportunity.

But his icetime is still way down from last season, and soon Laine will be back and will compete for ice- and powerplaytime. Next year they add Demi and who knows who else, it won't get easier for Newhook to get his share of time. Unless he earns it.

He will eventually be on the third line and used as a callup for the top six when player's get injured. If he and say... Joshua Roy join Beck, that'd be a smokin' third line. We'll have some real scoring depth in the lineup.

Wasn’t the argument a lot of Avs fans made that his growth was stagnating and there was a question if he had any ability to grow any further?

And as of now....my god were they right....
