Maybe a 4th.

Newhook is a former 1st round pick.

He skates really, really fast.

Any interest?

I was happy when the Av's bailed on him early enough to recoup good value. He's a player that leaves you thinking he could get to that next level, but then never gets any better at all.

I can totally see that.

Tool wise, awesome, it makes sense.

But, as a whole.....

Meh.

Anyone interested in Newhook?

Anybody????

Please.... take him off our hands.

Right now, hes stuck at the.. too small to be a good bottom sixer, not skilled enough to be a line driver, and not enough two way play to play with two other elite offensive players against top competition.

And I'm guessing Flames extend him an 8 year deal before they can open their mouths.

Lots of rumours he won't resign with them. Let's not forget Flames are/will be rebuilding.

I can assure you he is bad but really bad, outside of skating he brings absolutely nothing, I can't believe he is on our 2nd line. When we did that trade I was really pissed, he is the kind of guy that avoid being on waivers because he is a former 1st pick

Depends how the next couple months go, if the wheels fall off from this start maybe he gets dealt. If the Flames stay competitive I could see him re-signing if the Flames throw the bag at him (which they would). All those rumors were from last year/the off-season and once all the free agents got dealt the noise around the team died off.

He's in an odd situation because without Backlund (our current C) I am 99% sure that Ras would be the Flames captain.

He's also playing at a Norris level this year so if the Flames are selling him, it's not going to be cheap.
