Caufield vs Robertson

[Atomos2]

Why wouldn't we count ahl goals? Robertson has played far more ahl games than nhl games, and he struggled to score goals in both leagues.

3 goals in the first 7 NHL games is the best goalscoring start among the 2019 draftees.

Lol, acting like this means anything is priceless.

I love banter between two teams but that one TML fan sounds like a super villain and it’s super cringe lmao squeak squeak

You'll have to be more specific.

Caufield's career trajectory has already projected him higher than Robertson. The OHL is weaker than the NCAA for competition level; particularly for undersized forwards. Men are better than boys. They wouldn't be comparable if Robertson wasn't a Leafs prospect. Caufield has mainstream press backing him as a top 5 prospect in hockey; Robertson does not.

It's like when Leafs fans shoehorned Schenn into the Subban and Karlsson debates. Two of them won a Norris, one was never a top 4 dman. Guess who?

I find it ironic that you're using this as a comparison when the leaf player was a 1st and pick and the other mtl drafted player was in the second round. It's almost as though you're saying a small sample size and projections dont matter. And that over time one proved to be better. So strange....

High picks like Galchenyuk, Poehling, Kotkaniemi, Sergachev...whoops wrong team.

25th overall is a high pick now?

Well at least he's doing better than other players picked in the 20's like Biggs, Percy, and Gauthier

Ahh touché. That's definitely true...thank god those messes of gms who picked those guys aren't gms in the league anymore?

How is Poehling a high pick ?

The irony is lost on you. Subban was better immediately. There was never a point where Schenn was a better player than Subban. Caufield has been better than Robertson consistently; completely ignoring the draft status of either of them. You could say they were both drafted in the 7th or undrafted and nobody in a blind pick would take Robertson.

Thats an absolute joke of an opinion DD. Who on the right wing does he replace? Marner? Nylander? Soupman? Simmonds? Spezza?

How would it sound for a traditionally "soft" team with lots of scoring to remove one of our big guys and replace them with a 5'6 goal scoring winger?

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.

Edit: Also we dont even know if its comfirmed Gally will make the leafs final roster for the playoffs, we are still missing Hyman and Foligno with Nash practicing as well.

That wasn't what the post said that I replied to. The post said the Leafs were just too deep. Players like Noesen, Engvall and Galchenyuk are just too good.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Robertson isn't playing because another game burns an ELC year. Not because Noesen is a better player. With Hyman, Foligno and Nash expected on the playoff roster he wasn't going to have a spot. Engvall and Galchenyuk are likely going to be left off as well.

 

[sharks9]

Well none of your current GMs picks have made the NHL in a full-time role yet, so it remains to be seen how good his drafting is

I said they were deep, not too deep. Those players all play vastly different roles from a 19 year old scoring rookie, if you dont understand that then youre either being purposefully ignorant or you need to become more educated in how the sport of hockey works.

Lol subban was drafted in 2007 spent a year in the ohl and another in the ahl and entered the nhl in 09. Schenn was drafted in 08 and played in the nhl in 08. How could subban been better immediately? So again in the scenario you pointed out it's entirely possible robertson becomes subban since hes getting some reps in the ahl and caufiled becomes schenn since hes been annointed your savior and rushed into the nhl

See the irony now. Should get you facts right.

Lol, such an arrogant post.

 

[Habs10025]

Cole Caufield .

Lol, such an arrogant post.

Ironic and you couldn't even refute anything I said after trying to change the narrative and put words in my mouth.

No interest in a discussion with someone so ignorant yet so arrogant.

Take your ball and go home, then next time dont try to put words in my mouth.

Only replied to exactly what was said.

 

[BostonBruins11]

Bruins fan that hates both teams.... Give me Caufield, I just hope he can handle the physicality of the NHL long term given his size.

 

[Mats13]

Dubas ran the Marner draft FYI

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

As I've said all along, I have a hard time saying this isn't Caufield, but can everyone show Robertson some respect? He's really good. Caufield isn't Ovechkin. This is close.

Robertson is good and I had him one spot ahead of Caufield in the draft, but Caufield has put some serious separation between them. Nick had it going last year but this year is very, meh? While Cole kept it up, and even went above this season.

Its Caufield hands down.

 

[ole ole]

The little Smurf has had some luck lately. Good for him!

Still...........Robertson is better.

Talking about that smurf, HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW. Rob WHO.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Leafs fan here giving this to Caufield. but maybe in another year we can revisit. sample size is far too small but right now pretty easily Caufield
