Perfect Time to Trade Alex Newhook
Alex Newhook isn’t the Canadiens’ top offensive player. Last season, he scored 26 points with 15 goals in 82 games, leading many to question his role in Montreal. However, this season, Newhook looks different. He has already tallied nine points, including five goals, in just 13 games.
His recent production is largely credited to the efforts of Ivan Demidov, who plays on his line and helps create scoring opportunities. Despite Newhook's current strong performance, some experts think this is the ideal moment for the Canadiens to trade him.
According to Jean-Charles Lajoie, "We must take advantage of Newhook's current value because it will probably never be as high as it is right now in the four corners of the National League. Despite the excellent services he's currently rendered, we need to exploit Newhook's great sequence and use it as bait by involving him in a package."
The timing makes sense when considering the Canadiens’ long-term outlook, as Newhook may not have a significant role much longer on the team.
