Alex Newhook with Nos Jeunes à Coeur in Montreal-North:
Player Discussion Alex Newhook
- Thread starter KevSkillz4
- Start date
Alex Newhook had 12 goals and 27 points in his final 39 games. That is a 25-goal and 57-point pace over 82 games. Those are more than adequate second-line numbers.
Got this info from an article by Grant McCagg. I wasn't aware of those numbers.

Alex Newhook missed 27 games and came back to an abysmal Habs team without Dach and Dvorak at center.
He played with Gallagher and Armia as a 2nd line center and put up those numbers...
He started winning faceoffs at the end and did better but he could play easier minutes this year next to Dach and Laine.
He was one of the fastest forwards last year, he has a shot and wins his fair share of board battles. For 2.9m a year for 3 more years, I don't get how that guy is not a bigger storyline for our fans.
The forgotten player. Everyone talks about Laine, Kirby coming back from injury, Slafkovsky progression from last season but nobody mentions Newhook.
I was impressed with the way Newhook finished off the season last year. People are sleeping on him, I think he will impress especially since he will get the chance to play with quality players instead of having to carry Gallagher.
