Sad, but expected.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

In before someone mentions hes too small

 

[Treb]

Is that good?

The runner ups had 18 goals in 22 games (23 years old) and 18 goals in 29 games, so I would say yes.

Great signing for the Montreal Canadiens.
Welcome to Montreal Cole Caufield.

Habs loading up early for a good run in the playoffs.

Wonder how he will do. We are going to see a lot of impact prospects in the NHL soon with college wrapping up and OHL starting.

Montreal going for that forward depth approach. Caufield and Staal. Who’s out of the lineup?

Evans is waiver exempt. So he will go in the AHL.

I guess Byron's day are also over.

If I was the coach that would be my decision. But I bet they will bench/trade Lehkonen, unfortunately.

Byron is a hard move with the term remaining no? Still depth is a good problem to have.

Your probably right about Evans, but Caufield will start in the AHL, Byron isn't going anywhere for now. If they need cap space, it Lehkonen that goes because his contract is up this year.

Pinto isnt 23???He is 20

 

[FrankMTL]

Pinto isnt 23???He is 20

I doubt he was talking about Pinto as he only had 15 goals this year.

 

[Treb]

Pinto isnt 23???He is 20

He doesn't have 18 goals either, he's at 15 goals (30 points) in 27 games.

The runner up were:
Colin Bilek 23yo 22gp 18-7-25
Sampo Raanta 20yo 29gp 18-11-39

Yep ,for sure...But Pinto isnt just about goals..Which is why he likely ends up top 3 in voting...But yes Caufield has had a great year and deserves to win

In before someone mentions hes too small

he should have never fallen as far as he did in the draft. if anything teams should have seen what happened with debrincat and what he was producing and CC should have been taken in the top 10. who cares about your size, every goal counts the same regardless of who scores it

I think he was talking just about goal scoring leaders...so I have no clue what Pinto has to do with that. He didn't mention Pinto at all in his post, let alone Pinto being 23.

But yes besides that, Pinto is a great player that I would love to have on the Habs.

I didnt mean it to be a slight to Caufield,its just that the 23 year old likely doesnt pass Pinto in either 2nd or 3rd on that list

Hell yeah.
