Ouch hope he'll find his mojo in playoffs cause every time i've seen him in playoffs he looked like the 2nd coming of Tatah. Guy's a ghost in playoffs.

Major $$ for Meier, but after the Dubois deal it seem like fair value.
These guys are too funny

He's also 26. Dvorak had better numbers than Newhook. Also Gallagher had better numbers than Bedard in the NHL last year.
While i agree that Newhook is a bit old to take the gamble we did on him and i personally consider this trade as potentially bad saying Colton had better numbers is ridiculous. Colton is 26 and he is "what you see is what you get" at this point.
Colton always projected as a 3rd line player and this is what he is. There's still a chance Newhook develop into a 2nd line player and he'll need to do that for this trade to be good. But at 22 he'll have to show somethig this year i'm still far from convinced personally.

No he's not too old and i've not written that he is too old. I said it's a big and costly gamble for a guy who is 22. Let's face it the closer a guy is to his 24th birthday the less chance you have for him to blossom. Most players reach close to their max offensive potential at around 24. Newhook will have a lot to prove this year. Dach was a whole year younger when we got him.

But we also gave up significantly more to get Kirby than Newhook. It's also not like Newhook hasn't played fairly well given the situation and responsibilities he's been given on a cup winning team.
He's going to be given an opportunity to play an offensive style game this year, something he hasn't really be given over the past couple years. Hopefully he takes advantage of it.

He played fairly well but i'm sure that Sakic after letting Kadri go and not replacing him saw Newhook as the potential replacement within the next 2 years. Sakic gave up on that dream this summer. Is it a mistake by Sakic and KH jumped on it? Maybe, I've not seen Newhook enough to know that. But for sure Sakic does not see him as close to be ready and that worry me a bit cause it's going to be his 3rd year so he should be close to get there enough for Sakic to be willing to commit. In the case of Dach it was clearly a management willing to tank hard the Hawks traded everyone including the GM's own mother.

He's.... back?
This is kinda funny, not going to lie. Davidson does look like a normal, young guy.

At this point i'm wondering who is the most f***ed up. OcenGate or the Yotes. I should not ask myself that question OceanGate should be the obvious answer.
Arber is too big and experienced for Lucic. He always picks one weight class lower, or guys that don't fight. Spot picker fake tough guy who was never the same after Dale Weise exposed him for what he is.

Bruins brought back Krejci last year. Bringing back Lucic this year. They're gearing up to win the 2011 Stanley Cup again.
Also, that video with Davidson is funny. Part of me feels it was a comedy skit type of thing.

Ooof…not sure of that take. Hunchback is still league champ to me. Unless priven otherwise.

Looooocccchhhh.
Would be great if he injects some hate back into the rivalry which has basically been dead since he’s left. Probably too much of an irrelevant player nowadays though.
We really need someone else that is willing to fight (and not get embarrassed looking at you Pezz) other than Xhekaj

Lucic was always a spot picker. Only told he'd take on guys his own size were non fighters like komisarek or David clarkson
Anyway wifi would kill him

Don't think Lucic will want to fight Arber. He'll run away since Arber can fight.
Or Emelin ...
They got no chance offense is too old. They have a good defense so i think they'll qualify but the cup nah don't think so

Milan killed MacDermid last season and beat Martin Olivier. Same guy who fairly held his ground against Arber.
