Confirmed with Link: Avs Sign Alex Newhook to ELC

[Gruyeriev]

18? This can’t be good.

 

[Perratrooper]

Why is #18 cursed again, does anyone have the history of it?

 

[Qurpiz]

I had such high hopes for Newhook...

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

No one has succeeded with #18 since Deadmarsh was traded. Everyone else has gotten hurt or been traded shortly after switching to #18

 

[Freudian]

He'll retire at the age of 21 because of an allergy to socks.

 

[LostInMosEisley]

Kind of a silly curse. Just don't trade him.

Adam Deadmarsh. Traded for a D.
Chris Drury. Traded for a D.
Alex Tanguay. Traded for a D.
Brian Willsie, Stephane Yelle, Brandon Yip, Mike Connolly, Shawn Matthias, Cody Goloubef, Derick Brassard. Ummm...less notable than the first 3.

Tangers two best seasons with the Avs were after he switched to 18 though.

 

[Mighty Makar]

The Drury trade pissed me off.

 

[The Shermanator]

I'll have none of that Brandon Yip slander.

 

[Hasbro]

Aw shit!

 

[BobRossColton]

Is it just too close to #19?

 

[missionAvs]

Too bad you'll never get to see him wear it because he'll be dead before he even puts it on.

It's funny how many people still are under the impression that he's not already injured and on LTIR.

 

[Muffin]

Hopefully he's in the line up tonight? I imagine they didn't call him up to sit in the press box.

They aren't releasing that info anymore, so we won't know till game time

This comment doesn't sound like he'll go tonight unfortunately. But Bednar likes to throw false trails on the roster this time of year so who knows...

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah I don't think he plays tonight but should play here at some point. Looking forward to how he does.

 

[Belgican]

Would be good for him to look at a game live, before stepping in.

Also, it will ne interesting for Bednar to have a look at Kadri (reaction) before deciding what to do with the lineup, letting Newhook play C or wing.

 

[Hasbro]

Again no socks. So it's obviously not a case of having not washed his whites.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

The Drury trade pissed me off.

Possibly that the trade that has angered me the most of any ever with Colorado.

 

[JWK]

I dare him to pick #18

f***ing dumbass

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Damn, sounds like Bednar wants to legit use the kid and not just play him 6-7 minutes. Good stuff.

 

[Muffin]

Sounds like a pretty good chance he's going to play Wednesday.
