Not sure he carries any positive value at this point. Soft, one dimensional, missed a lot of time last year to injury and now just 2 goals in 9 games this year? With another 2.5 years left on his deal.


Wouldn't get any positive value but maybe a swap for another similarly struggling player. Like a Peyton Krebs or maybe a Kaapo Kakko(Though he's having a decent start to his year so maybe not).



One "bigger" scenario I could see playing out would be a Newhook+ for Zegras+ type of deal.

Why, exactly, do the Ducks entertain that offer? Zegras may be traded at some point but it’s not for a downgrade. It’ll be in a package for an upgrade, a player who fits whatever Verbeek is trying to build, or for a different position of need. Newhook is none of those.

I would loose him on the waivers and it would be the happiest day of my life. It's a AHLer that shouldn't be in the NHL

2019 draft class - drafted 16th

Games played- 6th
Points - 10th

Newhook is 23...
Cap hit (of all players 24U) - 39th


Zero chance KH moves him for anything short of a steep overpayment, considerably more than the picks it cost to get him.
