Two very differently styled players that both came from the 2019 draft.

Boldy 12th, and Caufield 15th overall. Love the upsides of both these players!

Who do you take going forward?

Boldy and Slaf are both similar players as they are beeg and talented so Ill keep Caufield. I assume Minny fans will do the same.

Caufield is more unique but Boldy is just as good and fills more holes, I think by that definition he wins the poll.

For my Habs team... I will go with Cole Caufield since we just drafted Juraj Slafkovsky, Boldy and Slaf are big talented players, Cole Caufield can score 40 goals per season with his scoring instinct. This guy looks more spectacular than Alex DeBrincat...

But I understand people go with Boldy there, he is a very good hockey player and Wild are lucky to have grab him at 12 in his draft. He is a top 5 talent in 2019 draft, like Caufield.

When Caufield started lighting it up in his rookie campaign, I remember thinking not "Oh man, I wish we had Cole" but instead "how much is Boldy going to light it up?!" Glad to be proven right so far. But only so far. Boldy had a great linemate in Fiala. Let's see what he can do carrying a 2nd line.

I made this point in the 100-point thread: Fiala was scoring at a 56 point pace prior to Boldy's arrival. Fiala scored at 103 point pace once on the same line. I think Fiala also had a great linemate.

Agree that Caufield has DeBrincat vibes. A little harder to find a close comparison for Boldy. Maybe Rantanen, but not quite as productive. I see Boldy consistently at 65-75 points.

Yeah you definitely can't have too many big skilled guys. o_O

Found a great action shot of the two of them playing against each other in a game last year, for fans of these guys.

I have to take the upside of a guy who scored at 0.82 clip in his rookie year and is known as a tremendous overall athlete. That’s no slight at all to Caufield, he just lacks the two way ceiling of Boldy.

If Evason puts Boldy with Kaprizov, we could be talking about a 85+ point player
