I think they said Kuemper is good to go in Game 1

Kuemper is playing and I would expect Newhook in over NAK, other than that it’s spot on. Personally I’d like to see Byram Manson and Girard EJ get some run.

Thank You for letting me know! I’ll fix that.

I agree with you that Byram Manson and Girard and EJ should get some playing time. For me I think NAK could play for at least two games and if he’s not playing well Newhook could slide in for him.

Yeah I don’t know that you change the line up after a sweep but I think Newhook needless to say is significantly better albeit not as physical as NAK.

FYI most of the users on here are kids!

I wouldnt expect Newhook over NAK, I value NAKs physical play and forechecking too much in this series.
NAK had 19 hits in those 4 games playing about 11 mins a game and primarily played defensive zone starts (which Newhook wouldnt be best suited for). As well NAK has stayed out of the box, which in my opinion, is his worst attribute as a player (taking dumb/senseless penalties).

Im not opposed to mixing up the bottom 4 D tho.

I was thinking the same thing

STL and MN had a 100 less hits than COL NSH in 2 more games. Newhook is just better than NAK call me old fashioned but I would rather just dress the guy that’s better

Youre old fashioned then.
COLs third line with Burakovsky and Compher is more balanced with a physical/gritty player like NAK vs another offensive/"avoids contact" type player like Newhook (who would be a less productive copy/paste of Burakovsky on the same line).
