Granted, on
a contending team, Newhook would more than likely be a good third liner, but
playing with a couple of talented youngsters, he has shown an ability to raise the
level of his game. Next season, the Newfoundlander will be entering the final
year of the four-year deal he signed when he joined the Canadiens, and he will
have another chance to prove that he should be part of Montreal’s plans
long-term. In an ideal world, he would be able to remain healthy and prove that
he can consistently produce at the rate he has this season.
