[Nihiliste]

Don’t know much about the player but he looked great at the U18s. More dynamic than Krebs at that tournament

[Bone Breaker]

nice hockey name. from Duchene-Stastny-ROR to Mack-Hook-Jost/Cozens/Compher/Kamenev/Kerfoot. not bad.

 

[Nihiliste]

Google brought it to my attention that this kid is only 5’10”. Bust confirmed.

 

[Dan Kelly]

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

he probably couldn't believe he was still there !!

[Tike Myson]

Some of his explosive zone entries look very similar to Mack also having a a pretty gnarly deceptive shot Jesus Christ this team is looking Uber Sick!!!!!!

 

[Bone Breaker]

Cozens?

lol my bad. was thinking about Bowers but I guess the draft mixed names in my mind.

 

[Echo Roku]

Scariest thing about Newhook, though. He wears 18.

Pretty sure Connor Timmins is biting that bullet for him right now.

 

[Foppa2118]

He'll be 5'11.25"in no time

Actually he was 5'10.5" at the combine. He'll be listed at 5'11" soon.

This is the purpose of citing their exact measurement. You know they didn't round up from 5'9.5" to list him at 5'10".

 

[Avs_19]

Team Fit: In Newhook, the Avs add a player I am excited about. Newhook is a dynamic and highly competitive player. There were some scouts concerned about investing in a top BCHL talent after seeing the development of Tyson Jost, but the Avs, who picked Jost, were clearly not scared. I love it. I think Newhook is very talented and could be in the NHL in a year or two. The Avs, after picking Byram at No. 4, don’t have many top forward prospects, so Newhook instantly becomes the future top scorer for them in the pipeline.

Here we go

 

[Foppa2118]

Here we go

You hate facts?

 

[Balthazar]

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

They probably expect this kid to become what Jost was supposed to become.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

They probably expect this kid to become what Jost was supposed to become.

The big thing Newhook has over Jost is his skating.

 

[Foppberg]

What's the time frame for this guy? 1 year? 2?

 

[Tommy Shelby]

What's the time frame for this guy? 1 year? 2?

I'm gonna say 2 and he joins us in the playoffs like Makar.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

I'm gonna say 2 and he joins us in the playoffs like Makar.

Just in time for the latter half of a back2back...

 

[Avsboy]

Change the title, Newhook went 16th
