Cole Caufield: Is this the year?

[Habs]

That’s true of any player.

But don’t be surprised if you trade him that he scores 50 goals somewhere else.

He's that talented for sure, we have to remember it may never happen here though. History has proven this team doesn't produce 50 goal scorers, they trade them away. Who was the last one we had, Richer? Got rid of him two years later. Am I missing someone? The system here changed decades ago, offense driven teams were banned for some reason.

They don't know how to blend the size and skill together to let a 50 goal scorer thrive in Montreal. Cole has so much skill, and its trending the other way. They will blame it on injuries, but he needs bigger skilled players to create some room. Maybe Dach will help

I don’t know, i suspect the team does. Probably the shoulder. Some bad luck but there’s clearly something wrong with the shot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 300 shot player shoot at seven percent.

He’s an idiot.

Cc is pacing for over three hundred shots on goal.

You know who missed the net? Hull, Ovechkin, Bossy…

When you get three hundred shots a year you’re going to miss the net.

I'm just being sarcastic lol, I like how cole is rounding out his game even when he's not scoring

 

[SlafySZN]

Last year he was an important piece of our future and now he's "if we can pass him in a trade"....

Only in Montreal you’ll see dramatic fans wanting to trade a 23 years old who’ll score 60 + points in their ‘’down’’ year. As if habs fans had many of those in last 10-15 years.

Plus saying ‘’if we can pass’’ him talking as if he’s some plug no one would want is pretty crazy.

If we can get better and bigger, why not.

Because selling low isn’t how you get better.

Because he's one of the most talented U24 NHLers

Signed long term at a very reasonable cap hit

Loves playing here, handles the pressure and spotlight well, and is hungry for re-living the cup run in Mtl experience, this time with fans in the rink

Has great relationships with high mutual respect and shared compete standards with our young, talented, core

He's a much a keeper as it gets

Size still matters. Give me Tkachuk in a package.

Meh.

Let’s trade Slaf for McDavid too.

I think our biggest problem is a lack of a big #1 two-way defenseman. A big fast skilled winger would come second.

Guhle is literally a 6'3 defender that skates as fast as Mackinnon and is one of the best defensive D in the league while being productive.

We need an offensive D that doesnt need to jump through hoops to get points and depth.

By two-way I meant more than 22 points lmao. Maybe he will blossom into a 45-50 points player, I was thinking about an elite defenseman like Pietrangelo, Hedman, Josi or Doughty(I know his defensive game is lacking but you get the drill)

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

He's becoming a more complete player, he's hustling for the pucks, I like that. He will score at least 35 goals next year, while being a better two-way player, what's to not like ?

Reinbacher will be that, i believe. Maybe not at the level of those guys you named though.

Guhle has more 5v5 points than Pie and 3 less than Doty in 6 less games. Josi and Hedman are not the same level offensively and teams dont have Ds that are that good, they are top 5 in the league offensively.

Dont let the fact that Guhle was stifled all year distract you from the level of talent he has.

 

[Tabarouette]

then proceeds to miss open nets

at the same rate he did every other year

this isn't a subjective thing the numbers literally exist and they are public, what are we doing here

 

[SlafySZN]

Nice ending of the season for CC. Looking more like himself.

He’ll be able to go into the off season with a little more confidence, to work on his shot and to build it to where it was before the surgery.

 

[Heffyhoof]

It's got a little lost in the excitement of Slaf's beautiful hatty, but congrats to the little man on hitting 60 points for the first time! Hopefully he can score another 3 goals in the next 4 games to set a career high in goals and end the season on a really high note.

Will be at worlds, could see Caufield and future habs Zegras on the same line

Fixed.
