Too much talent to not get there one day.

Even at his young age he's dominant most shifts. Playing with Suzuki who is also coming into his own stardom could get him there.

Hell, I don't know if I'd bet on it, but I wouldn't count him out to hit it this season.

 

[David Suzuki]

Barring him getting hurt he obviously will.

 

[NyQuil]

I think so.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I want to believe.

 

[Bleeker]

In my opinion it's not a question of if but rather of when. He is already dominant enough to do it this season.
I think most seasons he will score between 30 and 40 but on few occasions he will get to 50 or at least close, especially if Slafkovsky develops quickly and joins him and Suzuki on the first line.

 

[King Karl]

Dunno about this year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him reach that mark at least once in his career. He'll probably end up with a rocket or two.

How many goals will score per season, Cole Caufield.

Basically asked and answered.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

A perennial 50-goal scorer? Probably not.

Once or twice? Probably yes.

 

[KaosKommando]

Drai just scored, so Caufield surely will join him as 50 goal scorer.

Drai didn't actually score so Caufield has no chance.

 

[KaosKommando]

A perennial 50-goal scorer? Probably not.

Once or twice? Probably yes.

Do you think Laine will probably put up 50 goals once or twice? Or DeBrincat? Who else will probably score 50 once or twice? I mean other than Caufield. Probably.

 

[BenchBrawl]

I think so.

I used to think he was a sniper prospect, but he's playing way above that level now. He's much more than that.

He looks like Patrick Kane out there, always dangerous and tricky in the o-zone.

I'm impressed.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Since I have his Young Guns RC I hope he scores 100.

 

[Dempsey]

I voted no and it's not a knock on Caufield, I'm just playing the odds as it's incredibly difficult to score 50 in this league and I've seen too many players who were supposed to easily have "a few xx goal seasons" in them and then never do it. Almost as much as I've seen "he'll win multiple Norris trophies one day" thrown around here over the years and then it doesn't happen.

So if I were betting money I would say no, and if he does that's great. He's a terrific player.

 

[centipede2233]

He will be a 50 goal scorer, get 9 mil AAV, revert to 25 goal scorer.

 

[CanadienShark]

I'll vote yes because he has the talent and I like the player. It'll take a lot to go right, but he has a great shot and crazy good instincts.

Wrong thread my friend. Your mixing him up with a different player from a different team.
On Caufield scoring 50 He has the talent so i can see him doing it .

 

[waffledave]

He is dangerous every time he's on the ice. One of the most fun players to watch, he never stops.

 

[TommyDangles]

40 yes

50 I doubt it

50 goal scorers are very rare. We've only had a few.

 

[Kunta Kinte]

His biggest fan here and I doubt he will do it ? Its possible (Kreider) did it last year and nobody would ever imagined him scoring 50. Adam Graves scored 52. He was a good goalscorer but not a 50+ one.

Possible but I doubt it since its so rare.

Wouldn't surprised me to see him score mid 40s often tho.

Active:

Ovechkin
Kreider
Crosby
Draisaitl
Matthews
Stamkos
Malkin
Perry

Aside Perry and Kreider, they are bonadife superstar and HoF. Perry was a good goalscorer but 50 was really not the norm.

 

[Garbageyuk]

This season.

 

[Holymakinaw]

no.

Caufield is one of the best goal scoring prospects to enter the league this century

In my opinion - he was always extremely risky to bust because of his size - he either would succeed at the NHL level or wouldn't. I didn't necessarily see a path where he'd make the nhl but just be average. It was either a good nhl'er or bust to me.

Clearly - he's now shown he's a legitimate NHL'er.

So I can absolutely see him have a great goalscoring career.

Scoring being up also helps him. I can see him hitting 50 this year or next

 

[beowulf]

Yes but don't think it will be this season. Hot starts on below average teams tend to slow as the seasons grind wears on the team.

Perry is a 100% HoF lock.

Stanley Cup. Hart. Rocket. Olympic Gold x2. World Cup Gold. World championship Gold. World Junior Gold.

Guaranteed lock.
