I don't think we have anything special in Newhook but I like his versatility, a good asset to have going forward. Just needs good players around him to produce though. Obviously a poor time to shop him around with the slow start he's had this year.

To people who think we overpaid for Newhook, he's pretty much what you hope to get in a very good scenario with a late 1st or early 2nd round pick, which we paid for him. No regrets on that.

Every player needs good players around him to produce, that's a fallacy. I don't think he's worth a 1st and a 2nd anymore.

meh... he'll be a fine 3rd liner. he's just not a 2nd liner, which is what is expected of him right now.

When Laine's back and, next year, Demidov, Newhook will be in the good chair on the 3rd line.

And that's fine. I don't think anybody is arguing that Montreal shouldn't just keep him if he's a useful fit somewhere in their lineup. But I don't think his current value to other teams is what Montreal acquired him for.

I'm thinking a 2nd is the max we could get.
