I mean, there is progression, he’s been generating 2-3 great chances per game lately, where was that before. He’s been hitting a few posts. With just a few adjustments maybe he’s on the verge of a breakout.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Newhook centering the 3rd line I have zero issues with. But we need a plug-n-play 2C.

He’s just been better at center, but he’s been getting confidence. Can’t really complain about his play lately, that’s more than we’ve seen from Dach all year.
He’s better than Bulis.

Not playing around anymore.
Jan Bulis -.44 ppg
Alex Newhook -.43 ppg
PPG is just one benchmark. Bob Gainey was .43 too. You must think Bulis and him were the same.

Bulis was better defensively than Newhook is now. He used his speed to get break after break only to hit post or crest or glass.
Newhook is Bulis reincarnated.
Believe what you want to.

I don’t think he is what he is yet. But I’m an optimist.
