Over-reaction.Dach? Newhook? Demidov? Roy?
It's more than the shoulder. He's been making shit decisions and he's costing a lot of puck possession. He's just not as smart as we thought he was.
I'd seriously explore the trade avenue while his value is still high. The last thing we want is to fall in love with players and not see beyond their qualities . The end goal is at least a cup and I'm not sure Caufield is that essential.
Is your memory that short that you forgot how instrumental Caufield was in getting us to the Cup finals in 2021?
I keep Caufield and move him to our second line to shelter him way before trading him. We have evidence he produced really well with Dach on the 1st line last year.
He didn't have a perfect year but he's a far more complete player, dual-threat type guy.
Like most of our top players, his numbers will be shinier once our PP starts being dangerous again.
Most of the league's snipers make brain-dead plays routinely, especially when they're young and figuring out what works and what doesn't. Blame it on over-exposure to the PowerDonkey.
