Why? We drafted Robertson at 53, not 15 and we're contending for a cup. Caufield being currently better is not surprising or upsetting at all. I'm sure most of us are just happy that Robertson projects as a potential first liner himself.
Why?
Caufield pretty easily and i might add Caufield has more goals than Your pine rider has total points.Yeah, I'm pretty sure their careers are not over quite yet. Slab fans LOVE to squeak loudly, after every tiny achievement by one of their little players. Let's wait a few ticks more, and we'll see who the REAL gem is. Robertson has a MUCH harder road, trying to crack one of the most talented rosters in the league, as opposed to Caulfield, who only has to pass some 3rd liners to make it onto his team.
MORE importantly.........I'm looking forward to Galchenyuk scoring the series winning goal in game 4 against the Slabbers this year, to knock them out.
Caufield would easily make your team while Robertson would be in the same spot on the Habs .In the minors or used as a throw in in some trade.
I've quite literally already said you aren't insulting anyone, but you're the one that brought up the Leafs historical success in the playoffs in a thread about two prospects as a way to dig at Leafs fans.
You mean like the way Leaf fans keep bringing up the smurf dig about Caufield when in fact Robertson is only 2 inchers taller while being 1 lb lighter.
You're bad at this, but you're doing the same thing that I just said about the playoff comments.
Seems your fine with defending the Leaf putting in digs about other teams/players but it becomes a huge NO NO when done about your team/players.
If Robertson isn’t ready to take over a spot from a boarder line NHLer like Galchenyuk maybe you are getting a little ahead of yourself.
why? because to judge and attempt to compare two kids with 7 NHL games under their belt is completely ridiculous. This is basically just two large fanbases trying to convince the other that their undersized scoring prospect is better than the other by now throwing insignificant small sample size stats like you just did here.
Couldn't agree more. Sorry I thought you were insinuating that this poll / thread was dumb because Caufield is clearly the better player after 7 games. My bad.
Now you're counting ahl goals? What took Caufield so long to score 3? Your last stud 1st round pick Poehling did it in one game.
Who knows. Injuries, bouncing back and forth with the taxi squad. You guys are so defensive. I should hope your 1st round pick performs better than a late second. But since none of your picks in almost a decade have panned out ( or traded the one who did) I guess I understand your inferiority complex and need to shit on Robertson.
What did you guys accomplish in that time? Just taking you guys longer to realize it.
High picks like Galchenyuk, Poehling, Kotkaniemi, Sergachev...whoops wrong team.
Thats an absolute joke of an opinion DD. Who on the right wing does he replace? Marner? Nylander? Soupman? Simmonds? Spezza?
Its about more than that, they dont play the same game and Robertson wouldnt be needed as a primary goal scorer on Toronto as badly as Caufield was on Montreal. We still need physicality and two way play to accent our top lines and the top team in the division cant count on a rookie to do that in the playoffs yet. He will get his chance but we arent going to rush him into a role he isnt ready for and have him end up stunted like Kotkaniemi.
