I don't think that's an appropriate comparison. Newhook genuinely looked good all of last year and showed way more smarts and better offensive instincts than this year. That all vanished. Waiving him is an exaggeration, but he should be on the 4th line until he shows he can produce more than the defensive players at the very least.
At least scratch him a few games maybe to send a message, no?

BTW Primeau was playing well as well last year but who care for last year, he suck now, same thing can be said about Zibanejab, he's in the doghouse now in NYR.

Newhook is not a good hockey player. Full stop. He brings nothing ot the table. There is no investment here. His skating is merely good but not deceptive, he's not a great shooter, he has 0 hockey IQ and 0 playmaking and is a 0 on physicality and a net negative on defense. Tell me where you see the ''investment''.
You're struggling to understand the concept you brought to the table. Let's leave it as is.

This. Now we know why Colorado gave him away for a late 1st + a 2nd. He was not worth that at all.

KH thought Newhook was a good investment despite concerning results with a stacked team, we paid a 1st and a 2nd for him. He performs like ****. He's now nearly 24. He shows no sign of getting better. He steals ice time from better more deserving young players on the team and in Laval. We keep giving him minutes because of ''pedigree''. That is sunk cost fallacy to tee.

He's clearly an asset with his pedigree and age. If you waive him, you get nothing in return, other than a momentary satisfaction with no long term vision. Basically, you're too emotional to be a GM or think like one.
Well you get 3.5M in cap space, that's something no?

There are NO more deserving young players except Heineman
