C Alex Newhook - Victoria Grizzlies, BCHL (2019, 16th, COL)

[Patagonia]

Sakic played the draft perfectly.

Grabbed a DMan early, the mid-portion had a run they had their choice of Fallers on Forwards.

i guess im holding out hope it has to do with ufa's july 1st. if you don't land the big fish you want , theres a good size fish already hooked. pardon the pun.

No team trades a player they drafted so recently.

 

[WHISTLERNATE]

I don't think that the Avs could have hoped for a better player at 16. Newhook could not have landed in a better spot.

I wish they could move the Avs to the Eastern conference when Seattle comes in!

MIN drafted Boldy which is a very good choice. Zucker would need to waive due to NTC.

 

[not a troll]

i had him ranked #12 right where my wild should have picked him. i hope Colorado is in win now mode and would be willing to trade newhook for zucker.

Terrible trade for COL.

 

[Newusername]

If you wanted him you should have drafted / traded for him at the draft, now he’s an avalanche with no chance of him being traded before he plays for us

 

[Foppberg]

I would've preferred Krebs but I know nothing.

 

[Thebesthockey]

lucky avs

Mckinnon and now Mckinnon light

I liked both players with a slight edge to Krebs, but wondered if the injury played a role in choosing Newhook?

 

[S E P H]

Yeahhhh, so he did this...

 

[Avaholic29]

Yeahhhh, so he did this...

He's gonna be a good one. I feel like the BCHL had an effect on where he went in the draft but hes a top 10 talent in my books. Hope he rips it up in the NCAA.

 

[missionAvs]

Yeahhhh, so he did this...

Schremp 2.0?

 

[Sasso09]

Newhook was my favorite player in the draft and I wanted Philly to take him at 11. I watched by far more of Newhook than any other prospect in this draft, Avs fans should be stoked. He legit looks like a Barzal clone with IMO a better, highly underrated shot.

Newhook is better than Krebs in every possible way, even if Krebs didn't have injury history.

yeah but Newhook would take league minimum to play in Vancouver

Oops, my bad, was just communicating with Canucks fans in a previous thread

Yeah he's not. The only think Newhook is better at is skating and not by much. Krebs is a better passer, shooter, IQ/vison, puck skills, 2way play and drive/physicality.

I think newhook with be the better NHL player. Can't wait for that kid to develop.

Nah.

Krebs the better shooter? Better puck skills? Those two are at the very least highly debateable.

 

[izlez]

Yeahhhh, so he did this...

He unintentionally lost the puck on a shootout, causing him to mess up, stop, go backward, and have his goal disallowed?

It's not a big deal either way...but I don't understand why the team is promoting it as a great play.

You have simply got to be joking with this...

Edit: whoopsie daisy, wrong thread

Super raw, dunno how he’ll end up.

85% sure that the Oilers will f*** up his development pretty badly though

How will the Oilers mess up his development if he's playing with Zion on the Steelers?
