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?

 

[Bouboumaster]

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.

Look for a thread where someone says "if your team needs an offensive defenseman who's trying to find his offense ..." Then propose a swap.

Nah we have enough of those already, and our greenie coach dislikes the stay at home types. I'm looking for value in terms of picks or in terms of similar players we could get 1 for 1, given normal performances. How to define normal? Well that's up to posters really.

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.

Lol, I knew this was coming after I read that other comment. Zegras is pure ass lmao.

 

[River Meadow]

he's worth a 5th pick atm, you should keep him for now

DEAL!

1. Who tf said this? Proof or it didn’t happen.

2. Zegras is equally terrible right now, so it wouldn’t even be some crazy statement at this point anyway.

How much flack do you get from both sides for this mash up?

 

[vokiel]

DEAL!

Don't think anyone Montreal considers Lockin17 has a reference for trades.

 

[dirtydanglez]

hrs probably get something similar to what liljegren just got

You can think this all you want but his value is plummeting every day right now. If he doesn't turn things around soon nobody is gonna have interest in him "In a package for an upgrade"


And for the record all I said was Newhook+ for Zegras+. Nothing about the rest of the value of the deal. The pluses from Montreal would certainly be more.

I'd keep him

He's been good for us, he ain't the center I'd trade (that would be Dach)

The little i've watched this season he has not looked good at all.
