You kinda reiterated what I said.
Not having the center options has long been the glaring hole in the lineup.

And someone be so kind as to tell me how Newhook has been remotely "good" as opposed to a serviceable plug?
Drop Newhook off this team next season and replace with almost any nhl center and there won't be any drop off, likely an improvement.
Both center swings by Hughes turned a double play.

Dach can’t be trusted as a centre. The team is more secure with Newhook and even freakin’ Beck at C. That means we had a popgun 2nd line this year.
Newhook as a 3 C.
Dach as a winger, here or somewhere else. He can never play C again.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
No, the reverse. Newhook passes to Demidov and waits for the red light to go on.

"Day-to-day" has a bad habit of becoming "4-6 months" with this team.

Exactly. If Newhook was hurt, we’d see twice as many Pezzettas in our starting lineup

Yes. Dach was very bad minus a few games in Dec-Jan. I'm not saying that Newhook is great, but rather that Dach was really bad.

Both healthy I play Dach over Newhook and I suspect you would too. Dach is a 50 point guy while Newhook can't crack 30 and I can't believe you tried using +\- as an argument.

Also, nice sample size. If you're going to do that then use the few games he was turning it around.
Newhook would make a fantastic #4 center. High energy, speedy guy that can stir the shit a bit and once in awhile add some depth scoring.
Problem is, he and others still think he's a high potential player. He is not anymore.

Please provide proof of this assertion. Also are you factoring in the games his scoring won us? Are you factoring in Newhook missing gift goals repeatedly that could have won a game? Is that not losing a game as well?
It's insanity to purport that Newhook is the better option.
