Caufield's been playing on the left side since day one MSL took over... I don't think that's changing anytime soon.I think it all depends on how St-Louis hands out minutes to his top-9. If they are pretty evenly split, even with a little more to Suzuki's line, Newhook could benefit both from being a 3rd line or a 2nd line winger.
It really depends on the quality of his line mates?
I think we see him playing RW this upcoming season, personally, angling to maximize his speed and shot as main offensive qualities.
He'll likely be Dach's scoring option, like Caufield is Suzuki's scoring option.
Who plays with whom to complement the lines, though.
I see a third line potentially being RHP - DvoraK - Anderson, because of the chemistry displayed by RHP and Anderson when playing together to round out the year.
That leaves:
Monahan - Suzuki - Caufield
Slafkovsky - Dach - Newhook
RHP - Dvorak - Anderson
Hoffman - Evans/Lias Andersson - Gallagher
How a player lines up doesn't determine what side he'll play, necessarily.Caufield's been playing on the left side since day one MSL took over... I don't think that's changing anytime soon.
Newhook seems to prefer playing on the left side also, I think he'll play LW. He's Drouin's replacement at the end of the day.
As an Avs fan that saw what Alex had and was upset the Avs squandered it... happy to see the kid play so well last night in game 1 for y'all.
If I'd voted on this poll back then... I'd have been adamant he'd be a 2nd liner with 25-32 goal annual projection. Kid can play.
I think that was Boldy. Don't remember newhook ever being on the wing.i dunno if he's a winger. when he made the jump to the NCAA, he started at wing and struggled mightily. took off the moment he got switched to C
That would be pretty solid....I'm thinking Viktor Arvidsson type of production, along with a complete game.
nah, it was Newhook. did pretty well on the wing in game 1 thoI think that was Boldy. Don't remember newhook ever being on the wing.
When? At the start of their first NCAA season I believe Newhook was 1c and Boldy 2c. Boldy was bad at c so they moved him to wing on Newhook's line.nah, it was Newhook. did pretty well on the wing in game 1 tho
We were stacked on left DOne of the players sent to Colorado was Gianni Fairbrother. Injuries have slowed down his development. He will begin this season in the ECHL, after three injury plagued seasons.
