Value of: Alex Newhook

[The Abusement Park]

The issue here is that Newhook is a fast skater and not a good skater. And that significantly hampers him at playing C where he can't create any separation from defenders. He also just isn't a bottom 6 style player. You're best bet is him 3rd wheeling on the 2nd line as a winger, but even then I don't know if his talent is good enough to be a top 6 guy on a contending team. Just would be hard to pay any major value for a guy with his skill set really.

Habs fans been talking about how Newhook was better and worth more than Zegras for awhile now, how about now?

Really ? Doesn’t Dach have a ton more potential ? Newhook is just a blah player . Reminds me of the Dvorak deal . Too much for a middling talent

Dach has more potential but will he realiste it?
And furthure more, Dach is a way better wigner than he is a center

Meanwhile, Newhook bring similar talent to the table (less stickhandling but way faster) and I'd actually argue that he's a better center than Dach.

Does not seem like good time to advertise Zegras.

Amazing how both him and Jost fizzled out. How did the Avs get both of these players so wrong. Both seem like theyre great hardworking NHLers, but the points dont come.
