Alex Newhook with Nos Jeunes à Coeur in Montreal-North:
Alex Newhook missed 27 games and came back to an abysmal Habs team without Dach and Dvorak at center.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.
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.
absolutely. Newhook isn't a scrub, and I think he handles himself fine in the trenches. He's got a great shot, and he's of course blazing fast. I think he's going to create a lot of space for Laine and Dach with passing back to them after gaining the zone. Those three are all excellent at zone entry as well, so carrying or dump chase is covered. And because so much attention will be put on defending Laine's shot, Dach can easily fake and send the puck over to Newy if teams cheat. Being a righty, Dach is in a position to send one-timers on either side, just like Suzuki with CC/Slaf.If Alex Newhook, Dach and Laine have a good year, and not injured, Habs can be in the mix.
I don't speak french but shouldn't it be 'Aides' instead of 'Passes'? Help me out mon frères et soeurs
Me too.I'm probably part of the minority, but I actually preferred him at C than at W last year.

“Passe” is more the action of passing but when talking stats, it should be “aide”Both can be said (in this context) but we use "passe" much more.
He's gonna be lost when Buttman gets his dream of expanding the league even further, no way we will be able to protect him with all the other forwards and D we'd have to protect.
Skip, my guy, come on nowI'm probably part of the minority, but I actually preferred him at C than at W last year.

I'm in the same boat as you.I'm probably part of the minority, but I actually preferred him at C than at W last year.
How long did he play W? 1 game?
Or did I miss something.
Most of pre-season and those two games on Dach's wing + many games with Suzuki before his injury.
Then it was all C after his injury.
I found him rather invisible on the wing. I know a lot of people like him on the wing because of his shot coming down the wing, but the habs had no transition offense last year.
I missed him on Suzuki wings. Who were the other C?
He scored 2 goals in one game on Dach's wing. I found that pretty not too bad.
I really like his lines with Roy and Armia. Which will happens next year anyway so you'll have your wish.
I'm probably same. I like Newhook speed with Anderson make good forcheck third line. Roy usually plays better with high skilled guys. Roy has the better vision while Newhook more speed. MSL may have it backwardsI'm probably part of the minority, but I actually preferred him at C than at W last year.
even with everybody healthy habs will not finish outside of bottom 7. We still have the worst D in the league and the worst bottom 6 with the average goalies. stop trying to think this team will go from 28th team to 16-20. wont happenIf Alex Newhook, Dach and Laine have a good year, and not injured, Habs can be in the mix.
