tomh009 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Chicago did the opposite with DeBrincat: his salary was back end-loaded, $9M in the final year, so the qualifying offer was huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 7 hours ago, hab29RETIRED said: I don’t think the qualifying offer really matters if he does break out - he will get paid either because he won’t accept thr qualifying offer or go to arbitration. The buyout that would be required if he busts, would also be less right? It doesn't matter if he breaks out but it does matter if he doesn't. If he's still a 30-35-point player, a $2.1M qualifier is easier to stomach than something closer to $3M. The buyout factor shouldn't come into play here. If they buy him out at any point of the deal, it's only at a one-third rate instead of two-thirds thanks to his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Michael Ryder 2.0...kidding (Mikey had 85g in his 1st 3 yrs with Habs, was bigger slower different player i know) Habs sign Alex Newhook – HabsWorld.net The RHP and Newhook extensions are smart money for the Habs – Hab At Her "Newhook was asked about his initial reaction to the trade, and he spoke to the emotional element. Colorado was the team that drafted him, his first NHL team, the team that he enjoyed a Stanley Cup run with. But the next reaction is what is important. He said he felt a lot of excitement about coming to a younger team “with a bit more opportunity.” " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 21 hours ago, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said: Draft picks are important, but yes, fans tend to fall in love with them. The infinite potential they represent is always more exciting than the actual players you secure with them. That is so true, a lot of picks don't work out especially once you get to late 1st round picks and beyond. Newhook is skilled, scored 14 goals on an excellent team playing 3rd line minutes and is still only 22. I think we have seen what his floor is, hopefully his ceiling is much higher and I think St. Louis is the kind of coach that will find it.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 8 hours ago, hab29RETIRED said: How contract at this point isn’t going to alter my perception one way or the other right now. If he proves to be a good, productive and consistent top 6 it will be a great contract. If he is a 10-15 goal scorer/25-35 point guy 3 years from now, it will be about what he should be getting, if he drops off he’ll be overpaid and bought out like Zadina. Exactly, I don't see much downside here but a lot of upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 2 hours ago, IN THE HEARTS OF MEN said: Bobby Smith... A sadly forgotten Hab...probably because he was still in the shadow of the 1970s greats, despite his winning a Cup as #1C in 1986. That said, we were never going to retire his number, so good on Newhook for claiming a proper jersey number instead of one of those stupid 'practice jersey' numbers like 37 or 62.

Will he be the 2nd best Newfoundlander the Habs have had or the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he be the 2nd best Newfoundlander the Habs have had or the best? Newhook will be the fifth player from Newfoundland and Labrador to suit up for the Canadiens — which has a strong fan following in Newfoundland and Labrador — joining Michael Ryder, Darren Langdon, Terry Ryan and Brad Brown. Ryder was an excellent goal scorer for the Habs (84 goals in 260 Games, 26.5g/82Gm) ... I expect it may take some time for Newbook to score at that pace, but he could still be a better all-round player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The H Does NOT Stand For Habs: New Kid in Town (habsloyalist.blogspot.com) "Newhook isn't coming to Montreal a complete stranger. He's good friends with Justin Barron and has played with Kaiden Guhle in the past. He also knows former draft-mates Kirby Dach and Cole Caufield. He laughs at the suggestion that perhaps the Canadiens are trying to collect the whole 2019 first round...although his presence makes three."
