Avalanche trade Alex Newhook to Montreal Canadiens for late-first and early-second round picks
Colorado got the 31st and 37th picks in this week’s draft and defenceman Gianni Fairbrother from Montreal. The move clears potential salary cap space to try to keep pending free agent centre J.T. Compher, after the Avalanche acquired Ryan Johansen from Nashville over the weekend.
Hughes says the centre, who battled for ice time on the star-laden Avalanche, will have a chance to develop into an impact player on a young Canadiens team. Newhook is expected as a restricted free agent to get a raise from the US$925,000 he made last season. The Boston College product had four points in 12 games on Colorado’s 2022 Stanley Cup run.
