I haven't seen him play hockey but I'm pretty sure he served time in Shawshank Prison and was close friends with someone named Red.
LOL, that was good

Wait, the Q puts playoff teams in the draft lottery with non-playoff teams? that's ridiculous.
You should either get the benefit of playoffs (young guys getting experience, 2 or 3 extra home gates) or you should get a 1 in 2 shot at the first pick.
1. Rimouski
2. Sherbrooke
3. Moncton
4. Halifax
5. Val-d'Or
Anyone want to take a stab at a quick mock draft for the order we have now?
Edit:
I'll give the top 5 a try and would like some input from those who have followed a bit more than I have this year:
Rimouski - Alexis Lafreniere
Sherbrooke - Samuel Poulin
Moncton - Jakob Pelletier
Halifax - Xavier Parent
Val d'Or - Jaxon Bellamy
1 and 2 are as good as gold in my opinion.
I think Moncton grabs the NB D-man Bellamy myself.
And I think HFX probably goes forward too. With Nico probably not coming back, Fortier will be gone by the time they go for the mem cup. All they'll really have is Groulx, Durandeau as top 6 guys in my opinion. They could use another top forward.

Is Newhook for sure going NCAA? Or is he another Bowers situation where he'll only go to a few teams?
Cause I could see Hali trying to woo him into coming to the Q
It really is a poor system when you only have two teams missing the playoff
Fairly certain he's pretty set on NCAA. If Cam works his voodoo and convince him then he'd be the guy I want at 4th overall.

If they aren't sure with Newhook, they'll still have Parent and/or Pelletier as options. Both are better than Groulx or Durandeau.
There are 18 teams and they have to play four rounds of playoffs. (18-2) / 4... That's simple math.
Also, playoffs mean more money for teams and more experience for young players.

From what I understand he is going to be in the USHL next year. I would be extremely surprised if Halifax or any team can convince him. A simple Shane Bowers situation all over again. It's becoming a huge trend for Altantic Canadians to jump ship to the NCAA and it's only going to continue to grow.

Why?
It's a development league, it's good to have as many players as possible play in different situations (reg. season, playoffs)
He committed to a BCHL team, why would he go to the USHL?
Its like Bowers situation, except Bowers said he wouldve came to the Q if drafted by Halifax or Saint John.
And like another poster said he is commited to the BCHL not USHL
Good point. Ironically Bowers actually reentered the draft in 2016 and was taken 2nd round by Saint John. Too bad because by then he was probably set on NCAA route and familiar with Waterloo
