Caufield vs Robertson

[Kojo]

If this was about Jason Robertson vs Cole Caufield, I would understand. Otherwise it's not even close.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Robertson wins this one easily, and I'm so chuffed about that.

 

[cave troll]

Caufield single handedly handing Bergevin a 5 year contract extension.

Yes.
I bet Bergevin will have this kid's portrait in his living room til the end of his days.

Appeals to authority aren’t often convincing to me. Make your own argument.

That doesn't apply one bit to what I said maybe you should make a point of understanding the phrases you use

How is this not an appeal to authority? You didn’t even make your own argument for why he didn’t play? You said if the coach thought he was good enough he’d play. That’s an appeal to authority.

If he had been able to play that role, he would have been given the opportunity.

Ya just like the Leafs will easily beat the Habs in the 1st rd.
You were WRONG on both accounts

Just goes to show how overvalued Nick was around here a mere 7 months ago lmao

The Nick vs Jason Robertson debate was a hands down win for Nick ~7 months ago.

Just goes to show you how overhyped Toronto based media make guys like Robertson, or Liljegren, or Bracco, or Dermott, or Korshkov.

Cole having a good start to his career doesnt take away what Nick has done. Still a highly touted guy who has accomplished a lot and isnt even 20 yet

 

[CatchyTune]

you mean back when Caufield was a couple of tiers above robertson as a prospect?

Was that ever really a reality though? You could say he was better but "couple tiers"? It was close.

This has gone from, what most people are saying, overrating Nick and undervaluing Caufield, to just flat out underrating Nick at this point is what i'm seeing. im not saying he is better, but its gone from hyping up Cole to shitting on Nick basically.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Caulfield easily.
Once again proving that the best prospect is not always the one who hits the NHL first.

literally the only people in the world who thought it was "close" were leafs fans, just like Pogge was close to Price or JVR was close to Pacioretty or Kaberle was close to Markov, leafs fans lunacy goes back decades. Not a single credible scout ever had them in the same tier. The reason people are shitting on robertson is because he's got no business being in the same breath as Caufield

Im not talking about previous polls. I have no say in that as they are before my time.

i really cant support what you're saying as i dont see what makes him so much better, as you are saying.

 

[The Great Weal]

How upset are you right now? Jeez.

I'm pretty happy, what about you?
