Bear alum Newpower caps D-1hockey career with honors, pro deal
Aspires to be a federal cop, but first wants to give hockey a shot
Newpower was the subject of a feature article in the Hartford Courant. It focused on the fact he played only 15 of 36 games his sophomore season, after which he had a heart-to-heart with coach Mike Cavanaugh.
Newpower told the Courant: “I walked in there and said, ‘Listen, I want to be coached by you guys, and I want your help.’ And he (Cavanaugh) said, ‘OK, you need to take this next step.’” Cavanaugh responded by telling Newpower he had not been very “coachable.”
Newpower accepted the challenge. He was on campus that summer and the next for a four-day-a-week regimen of weight training, footwork, speed work and yoga, along with playing in a summer league. “The next year, he was a different player,” Cavanaugh told the Courant.
Newpower became a top-line defenseman who could score, too, notching 36 goals in 68 games his last two seasons. A teammate, junior Adam Karahick, told the Courant that Newpower “has been our rock, for sure,” as a leader on the ice. Newpower was named Hockey East’s top defenseman this year and was included on the Hockey East All-Stars as a second-team pick.

We wanted Power, we got Newpower instead....Oh, there's a use for him.
I'm guessing this is a GR signing and maybe Lashoff is gone? No contract details on Capfriendly yet.

Could be a sign we are losing one of Cholowski/Lindstrom and this is the replacement.

Doubtful, they're all basically the same age and Wyatt has no NHL experience, so it looks like a GR signing. I'm pretty sure this means either Lashoff and/or Hicketts doesn't get re-signed.

Yzerman at his presser, Said that he plans on resigning Cholowski. So i doubt he'd sign him and then expose him. He would just expose him and let Ron Francis sign him. I think DeKeyser and one of Lindstrom/Stecher are exposed on D.
