The Canadiens acquire Alex Newhook

This afternoon, Kent Hughes got his hands on a center. That said, we’re not talking about Pierre-Luc Dubois, but rather Alex Newhook, a young center who previously played for the Avalanche.

In return, the Canadiens give up the 31st pick, the 37th pick and Gianni Fairbrother to Colorado.
