Player Discussion Alex Newhook (Part 2) : Book an Appointment with New Look Edition

He more than anyone is responsible for the loss today. Needs to take a good long look at himself in mirror and make a decision to contribute or take yourself out of lineup...at least 6 open nets missed. What an idiot!

Newhook is flying out there, generating tons of scoring chances and playing a great defensive game.

I mean, it's just tragic at this point that you people can't see it.

Newhook is the reason why Gretzky's famous quote" You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take" is a stupid thing to say.

Because when you play in such a way that you get 95% of the scoring chances of your line and you suck that much at scoring , you're a nuisance.

There is a reason Avs fans use to call him NewJost… This guy is NOT in any way a top 6 player. He is a poor man’s Byron without the tenacity that Paul had which made him successful & great in his role.
Let this sink in: Newhook was less points than Gallagher, Evans, Dvorak, Armia & Anderson while having a bigger opportunity than any one of them to play on an offensive line.
Gallagher brings physicality & leadership, Evans and Dvorak bring FOs and PK, Armia brings board battles & PK, Anderson brings physicality & PK.
What does Newhook bring to the battle besides the little amount of points? and please don’t tell me speed. Speed is useless if you don’t know how to use it.
He literally has the 2nd lowest pts/g average of any regular forward on the team with only a rookie being worst.
This guy has no chair on this team & needs to be flipped this offseason.

The most insane thing about all of this is that a lot of fans can't see this. I don't know if they just get fooled by his speed or what.
He's straight up garbage, dime a dozen player that we overpaid badly for.
Has NO business being in the top 6. Not even sure I want him in the bottom 6 next year. I'd be thrilled if we moved him. The only plus side he is paid appropriately, so Im not against keeping him as a 4th line winger where he belongs..
Just keep him the f*ck away from Demidov. Even double chin Dach could have connected on a few of those plays last night that Newhook managed to screw up.

This is not just a one-game occurance. When Laine is making the odd rare good play...Newhook finds a way to miss. Any normal skill player would have 30 goals given his opportunities. Any of Heinemann, Roy, Farrell would convert on most of these chances. At least if Newhook could do like Slaf and have the puck bounce off his skate or @SS to score would be better.

Truly nothing in his head.

3-4 tap-ins completely whiffed. Then the one sequence where Ivan was alone for a breakaway, and Newhook takes an extra 1-2 seconds to realize something an NHLer should know instantly and can’t get him the pass.

He is a one-trick pony. Speed and that’s it.

This just in everyone: good players get less than 30 points a season with top 6 minutes. 5 points in his last 21 games. You might even say an excellent player.

Newhook is actually a really good player with decent upside.
He has been bounced around from wing to center and he has been placed with difficult players to develop chemistry with.
His speed alone is vital to this team.

Yeah we will be talking about his upside until he’s 30 like Galchenyuk.

No, he only has himself to blame. He has zero IQ and brings nothing to the team other than skating.

“Really good” players don’t average 0.3 PPG with Top 6 minutes.

Hey you may be right but I still think he has never been played with the right players.
Trying to develop chemistry with Laine and Dach was a bad scenario.

Getting the slowest man in the world off the second line was instant rejuvenation.

Didn’t last long, guy whiffed on a million chances after a goal that a 4 year old could score. It's almost as if his linemates have very little to do with him sucking as he's getting plenty of chances on a consistent basis. He's got nobody to blame but himself.

Could have had 3,4 goals easy if he didn't flub it.
