Would you trade Caufield for the 2nd overall pick?

[Kojo]

The thing about trading Caufield is even if we get lucky and draft a Seider or Zegras caliber prospect, we lose Caufield. How do you acquire another player like Caufield? You're back to square one.

 

[Scintillating10]

I voted no. You know you have good NHL scorer in Caufield. In Cooley it is roll of dice

 

[dinodebino]

I’m entertained.

 

[Gravity]

Can't get in the trade proposal thread because a Bruins fan made it and is on my ignore. Can someone share it? Thanks.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

I’m entertained.

 

[Habssince89]

The thing is at this point, Caufield is a known commodity. No reason to risk that for a chance the other player is better. Very very poor asset management to suggest this

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Results are pretty self-explanatory.

 

[yianik]

No.

 

[BenchBrawl]

I’m entertained.

You can always count on me ; )

Not this draft

Same.
If it was a 2004 or 2005 type draft, probably.

 

[CanadienShark]

So it appears New Jersey fans wouldn't do it neither.

Would you trade the 2nd overall pick for Cole Caufield?

Montreal fan here, trying to settle something. Would you trade the 2nd overall pick for Cole Caufield?

I guess once again I was right on the mark in terms of value.

Jersey fans seemed pretty ok with it overall. Most would rather keep the pick, but would be cool with the trade too.

 

[MasterD]

People saying Caufield is proven forget that Galchenyuk once scored 14 goals in 16 games.

CC showed beautiful things last spring, but let’s stay level headed. Lots of room to improve for the kid.

Well this is a depressing thread, so many people are gaslit from the Bergevin era.

Cole is one of the most naturally gifted shooters in hockey, fingers crossed we have the right people in place to turn that gift into something we haven’t had in decades.

We’re now in an NHL where Josh Norris, Tage Thompson, Adrian Kempe, Andre Mangiapane and Roope Hintz are 35+ goal scorers. Kyle Connor hit 47 goals. Chris Kreider scored 52 goals. Expecting anything less than a 40 goal scorer is selling him short.

Get f***king excited people! we have future star, don’t be scared to admit it!

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

I don't have to, me laughing says enough.

You draft Cooley at #1 and make Caufield and him play together. End of the story.

Thank you. I have a feeling weight goes 1 OV but the right pick is Cooley

The Devils fans on the trade board wouldn't, vehemently wouldn't! But maybe they're not representative of the general opinion of the New-Jersey board. I learned potential is hard to gauge. Here on the Habs board we see Caufield as the next rocket Richard winner but fans from other teams see a smallish forward with bad stats. Tells you how potential is hidden. This applies irl too for a lot of things! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Forgot to add a 3rd option there " Are you crazy" . If they trade Caufield they would need to have a real worry somewhere that we dont know. For now he will get better and better. Once each player in the team will have their role and that they dont duplicate them, like putting Hoffman on PP1 that only want to shoot for himself and never try to pass up to Caufield or make play they dont fit... its going to be good.

 

[NotProkofievian]

He refused.

I also asked you a few times how many goals you think he's going to score next year, a few times now.

 

[Tanknation]

I don't even like Cooley all that much. I'm just shaking the hive for fun. I don't think Caufield is this megasuperstar untradable prospect that many seem to think he is around here. Maybe I went too far in this thread, because yeah, probably Caufield is a safer value right now than Cooley, but it's still a trade to consider.

No, no its not. Close this dumb thread already

 

[Kimota]

We have literally no idea if Cooley will be good or not.

A Caufield is a Caufield but a mystery box could be anything! It could even be a Caufield! - Peter Griffin

Would add the gif but don't have a clue how

This thread dedicated to @Ozymandias

Why do you single me out?

The vote clearly shows others see the same things as I do.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Ah. Where's that thread: "Suzuki/Caufield most dynamic duo since..." that was posted in preseason last year?

That was Redux91

 

[HabsForHire]

I would pull the trigger and pick both Wright and Cooley (but you can pick any combination if you want). Yeah, that means we'd have three great centers for the next 15 years.

Wingers can be found later.

I think Caufield is great but overrated by Montreal fans, and we'd be better off with another top pick.

Well..... that's a horrible take.

Wanna bet Caufield will be a much better player?

Caufield has twice Chucky's brain size.

I haven't been this confident in a young Habs player since Subban.
