He's got great acceleration too. i'm watching the Canada/Czech game right now, and I could see a choppy stride argument. But he can get going really quickly with his first few steps. And his edgework is great as you say.
I'm really liking Newhook alot.
He can see plays developing before they happen, he's got great hands, a good shot, and he can make plays on the defensive end too.
Krebs is more industrious, & maybe he'll be a better C in the NHL. But Newhook's a bit bigger & he's more dynamic. I have them neck & neck right now, tough time deciding which elements I like more. Krebs has grown on me aswell.
