By the way, that Newhook trade is horrible, and if I were a Habs fan I would be beyond pissed.

How much do you figure Newhook gets annually on his next contract? Because if it's under $4.29 mil/yr then the Habs could have just submitted an Offer Sheet, and if they won it would've only cost them a 2nd round pick as compensation.
Or, if you assume he gets between $4.3-$6.4 mil/yr, then the compensation would have been a 1st and 3rd.
If I have a lot to learn about Newhook, then you have a lot to learn about asset management via the Offer Sheet.
How can you say that an young player with only two season experience is an flop when he have does 30 pts on 82 on fourth line average time playing. Newhook didn't have show 100% of what is able to do. In Colorado he play mostly on the fourth like and sometime on the third line.
On first two month he's averaging an 14 minutes to 15 minutes per match, the next two month he's averaging something between 12 minute to 19 minutes ( probably because of the injury) the rest of the season he go somewhere between 6 minutes to 18 minutes but Mostly near the 8 to 12 minutes. Has almost 0 pp time and get few minutes on the pk.
At same time avalanche roster is hard to crack up as there alot of talent there. Newhook will have more ice time with mtl and much much time on special unit. Like Martin St-Louis have say Newhook bring versatility. He can play center as much as LW and he's still young fit with the core group.
Could Montreal select good player with #31 and #37 ?
Absolutely I have good player prospect around this number guys like goaltender Hrabral or Augustine to name only them but there still way to get an draft pick with some other trade asset.
Mtl could go back with #5 as there alot of talk about Nashville and Philadelphia that wanted Michkov they could offer Montreal more then two pick to advance and select the player they wanted.
