[Chiarelli]

16^^

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Yes B’y

 

[CalderKing21]

He is going to be fun to watch. Man, him and Mack as the C 1-2 punch is potentially amazing.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

His playstyle fits us like a glove. Pretty pleased with this pick.

 

[BobRossColton]

Two years at Boston?

 

[VikingAv]

Two years at Boston?

This is a really interesting question, imo, I would wxpect two years, like Makar, hopefully Avs brass don't fasttrack him like I'm afraid of.

 

[Wintersun]

So much more exciting than the Kaut pick last year. Newhook has massive upside.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Byrum now Newhook....you guys are killing it !!

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Is give him two years. Get stronger and build up a ton of confidence

 

[EXTRAS]

Byram+newhook is best case scenario for Colorado imo.

 

[missionAvs]

Holy f***. We just had a hell of a f***ing draft.

 

[Patagonia]

So much more exciting than the Kaut pick last year. Newhook has massive upside.

AVs lineup is incredible and they're still so young.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Amazing.

 

[Patagonia]

Holy ****. We just had a hell of a ****ing draft.

What happened to all the Sakic Haters?

 

[BKarchitect]

Newhook in the BCHL reminds me of Makar toying with the AJHL kids. Basically does whatever he wants.

 

[timothy jimothy]

Joe Sakic announcing the Newhook pick is probably the most urgency I've ever seen in him as a GM.

 

[snipes]

Another good pick congrats guys. Awesome picks, I’m a big fan of what you guys are doing,

 

[Wintersun]

What happened to all the Sakic Haters?

I will come back to hate him if he trades Barrie for a 2020 first and Virtanen.

But right now very happy with our picks!

 

[McMetal]

Great value at 16, solid top six upside and a well developed two-way game already. He skates better than Jost too.

 

[flyfysher]

AVs lineup is incredible and they're still so young.

I need to reflect and enjoy this for a moment. I was a partial season ticket holder in JB's rookie year. It's good to be an Avs fan now.

 

[BKarchitect]

He skates better than Jost too.

That’s the understatement of the night!

 

[returnofthemack29]

Great value at 16, solid top six upside and a well developed two-way game already. He skates better than Jost too.

That’s the understatement of the century! Prominent scouts are saying he’s the best skater in the draft, yes even better than Hughes! The trio of Makar, Newhook, and MacK is going to be absolutely disgusting during 3v3 in OT.

 

[returnofthemack29]

That’s the understatement of the night!

Jinx...owe me a coke!

 

[Tommy Shelby]

They learned their lesson with Jost, I don't expect them to rush Newhook.
