Major announcement: A contract close to 12 million dollars signed by Alex Newhook and the Canadiens

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Newhook and the Montreal Canadiens have just signed a contract worth $11.6 million over four seasons ($2.9 million per year).

This could quickly become quite a steal, wow!

At $2.9 million per season, Newhook will be paid like a 35- to 40-point player, at most, which he already is!

So, even if Newhook doesn't improve at all in four seasons, he won't be a burden on the team.

But at just 22, it's almost 100% certain that he'll make serious progress and quickly become a bargain, just like Kirby Dach.

At the age of 21, Newhook got 30 points (14 goals) last season with the Colorado Avalanche.
