yeah ,no playoffs this year ,maybe we can trade 2 1st picks for a second liner this time

What are you on about ?
Newhook is great and outside a War% aka Wins Above Replacements on a stacked Cup team his first 2 years , No one with Knowledge is concerned.
Why? Cause all his other underlying Metrics in comparison to MTL puts him in the top 5% across the board

We gave up a late 1st aka a Mesar and an early 2nd aka a Beck
As good as that woulda been in context compared to Newhook its worth the gamble.
Why?? The Speed he brings and the style he plays suits MTL's system much better then it did in COL
We seen this in Lehkonen since moved from MTL to COL in a system that benefits his style
Its a similar gamble given they paid Barron aka a Mesar and a 2nd for Lehkonen

So what are you crying about ?

That 2nd line's gonna kill
Monahan will help both young Centers with Faceoffs until the TDL
Then we'll have him moved out at the TDL to a contender with them having Anderson join them as Ylonen draws in replacing him at 3rd RW

1st line is great
But it will require 2nd and 3rd line to play a bigger role in Match ups vs top 6 opponents (similar to how Tatar-Danault-Gally succeeded on top for years)

WTF ? is this
