HabsLinks @habslinks Darren Dreger on @tsn690 this AM: “Kent Hughes is having lots of different trade conversations, there’s potential for the Montreal Canadiens to be a bigger player but it has to make sense (long-term) - and that’s everyone from Dubois to potentially moving down in the draft.”
Not a fan of moving down or drafting for need, draft the biggest upside.

Newhook to Montreal for 31st and 37th overall. That’s a great trade to me for Montreal.

hopefully Newhook can take that next step in Montreal, he will likely get some top 6 time.

He has 66 career points in 159 games at 20 and 21, if he can take the next step this year at 22 with +-50 points and work up to a 60-70 point guy.

That’s a great trade to me for Montreal. i'm not sure on that hopefully it works out but thats two pretty damn good pieces moved for an unproven asset I mean the two pieces moved are unproven assets as well? With a very good chance neither are NHLers? We know Newhook is an NHLer and I think what he’s done at his age shows he has a bright future. It’s less than what they paid for Dach and Newhook has shown more in his NHL career than Dach did. For a late 1st and early 2nd, it’s a roll of the dice that I’d make all day.

Hughes would know him pretty well, having played college at BC while Hughes was still down there.

I don't mind the price, and I like Newhook.
22yrs old, which fits the bill.
At his age putting up 30 and 33pts in his first two full seasons...and he is a + player.
To me it's a pretty solid addition to add to the Habs already "young" lineup.

To me it's a pretty solid addition to add to the Habs already "young" lineup. His numbers should go up, MSL said he would be a top 6 guy, possibly with Dach and whoever is at RW(Anderson?). He could easily put up 50 points with an extra 2-3 min per game + pp and better linemates.

The 31st and 37th Picks in the Best Draft in 20 Years for a Guy that "may" play in your Top 6 .....didn't come cheap ....hopefully it works out .

I still don’t understand the didn't come cheap argument.. if I you had said a year ago you could get Newhook for Chiarot and a 2nd rounder, you’d have been laughed at. Now that’s a year ago but I still think the value is still there. The guy is 2 seasons into his NHL career here, anyone you’re taking at 31 or 37 is probably 3 years away from realistically making the NHL and who knows the impact they make if they even do. You get a young player, who is an NHLer, who I think fits the timeline better for this team and has high upside. I think Montreal bought low here because with more ice time and a little more developed body, I think his value is going to go way up.
