2024 Fantasy Outlook
Newhook flashed some potential in 2023-24, recording career highs with 15 goals and 34 points in only 55 games. He missed 27 straight contests from Dec. 2-Feb. 6 because of an ankle injury but created plenty of buzz by concluding the campaign with five tallies and seven assists in 13 outings. His 17.6 shooting percentage may come down, and maintaining a 50-point pace may be difficult in 2024-25, but the 23-year-old forward has plenty of upside as a breakout candidate. Newhook, who will likely occupy a top-six role and see action on the second power-play unit, should surpass the 40-point mark and could crack 45 if he stays healthy and his consistency doesn't wane.

Supplies offense in loss

November 7, 2024
Newhook scored two goals on three shots with two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Newhook's been snakebit of late, unable to finish or fumbling scoring chances, but got a break when his shot squeezed through the arm and body of Devils' netminder Jacob Markstrom. He later scored a highlight-reel goal, going coast to coast and flipping the puck over Markstrom's shoulder. The two-tally night snapped a five-game scoreless run for Newhook and doubled his goal output. He has four goals, zero assists and is minus-10 through 14 outings. Despite some early-season struggles, Newhook remains on the second line with Juraj Slafkovsky and Jake Evans.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Newhook couldn't take a step forward in 2022-23, and he actually slipped a bit with 30 points in 82 contests with the Avalanche. Despite the plethora of injuries in Colorado, Newhook failed to secure a top-six role, averaging just 13:57 of ice time per game. A trade to Montreal represents another hit to the 22-year-old's outlook, though he may make up for the weaker supporting cast by playing a larger role with his new team. He should slot into a middle-six role with the Canadiens in 2023-24, and that should also come with power-play time. Newhook could still push for a 40-point campaign, but his fantasy value will be driven almost exclusively by his offense. He represents a risky bet on draft day, particularly in leagues that typically value all-around production in the later rounds.
Newhook recently completed his first full NHL campaign. He served as a key bottom-six piece for an Avalanche team which went on to win the Stanley Cup. The 21-year-old finished the season with 13 goals and 33 points in 71 games. Newhook is almost certainly ready for a larger role, but it's difficult to see that happening this coming year considering how deep Colorado's roster is. He's a fringe pick in redraft fantasy formats, and a high-end asset in all dynasty/keeper leagues.
Newhook began last season with Boston College before deciding to leave school when the Eagles' year was complete. He began his pro journey with AHL Colorado (nine points in eight games) before seeing action in six games (three assists) with the Avalanche. Newhook is one of the very best prospects in the game today, but Colorado has the depth to bring him along slowly. He won't be forced to play a major role right away, and he'll likely begin this season centering the club's third line while seeing some second-unit power-play time. It's unlikely Newhook will provide redraft value, although he remains an elite selection in all dynasty leagues.
