Honestly, I don't understand the superlatives above about this guy. While none of Weise, Kolarik or Grachev did enough to displace a veteran, at least each of them had games where they impacted the game when they were on the ice (granted they also had invisible games as well). While Newbury didn't do much to hurt the team, he didn't do much to help it either. In fact, he didn't much affect the game one way or the other. And while that's
fine for a temporary one- or two-game call up to help the fourth line tread water while you wait for the injured guys to come back, that's also a completely replaceable player.
