The question remains if he can avoid getting hit at the next level, but he's going to be an impact goal scorer for sure. He'll have to modify his game a little from juniors (he was surprisingly scrappy in the games I saw), but his knack for floating into dangerous areas and letting loose his lethal shot is a skill that will definitely translate to the NHL. The kid just knows how to put pucks in the net, and that will win his team games, even in the playoffs.
Exactly, he's very similar to DeBrincat in that regard.
I don't think Caufield will be blowing guys up at the NHL level, but I also think he's a hell of a lot tougher than people are giving him credit for.
