Hey wait a second...this isn't PLD?!

Great PLD replacement tbh

wow! i love this!

This isn’t fairbrother.

Exactly the same deal than Dach last year

Newhook fit is better for the timeline of the Habs than PLD to be honest

Good trade for both teams

Smart add for Montreal. I really, REALLY like Newhook (a little less now that he's a Hab though), but Colorado made out pretty well.

Good deal for both sides, but IMO, Montreal Wins.

With so many <23yo, MTL wont need coaches, they'll need kindergarden teachers.

Lol terrible for MTL. Another undersized centre added to the lineup

I feel like this is a lot for Newhook but I can’t see why Colorado did it. They need cheap forwards

Wow, interesting deal.
Was told by Avs fans 2 weeks ago that it would be an overpay to move Newhook+ for Scheifele so kinda feel validated by this one lol. Also good on Kent Hughes for taking another swing at a young player rather than keeping the picks. Draft tails off by pick 31.

Montreal: Acquire a top 9 forward who will fit right into their core group. Young with lots of potential.

Colorado: Trade a Young Player who doesn't have a spot on their roster for more futures that will likely end up being flipped in the short term for more win now assets.

Fair trade

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I guess sell when the price is high

Lent Lughes?

Not voting right now, holding to see what kind of contract Newhook gets.

In Hughes we trust, Dach vs 13th + 66th seemed steep but it wasn’t after all
Let’s hope Newhook becomes a good middle six forward

The team that wins biggest out of this trade is Winnipeg, because now Montreal is out of the PLD sweepstakes and the Jets have the leverage.

Gianni Unfair, brother

Value is fine, but I really feel like this might be a trade Colorado ends up regretting. Newhook has a lot of good qualities and could easily be a breakout candidate.

another small player

Yes, and right now those draft picks are valued high, best time to trade them. Worst time is the TD

Kind of seems odd the Avs would be taking away from a position of weakness, but Sakic and MacFarland obviously have something cooking.

Hoping Newhook gets a better opportunity in Montreal.
