Cole Caufield: Is this the year?

[Lafleurs Guy]

The little man with the big future. 48 goals in his last 83 games combined over two seasons. Was it a fluke? Is this the year he breaks out? What's in store for 22 this year? Make your predictions here!

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'm gonna say it. He gets 50 this year.

 

[Colezuki]

I think he gets 50 as well

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Went with 40+, mainly because our PP has been so shitty and might lower his goal totals.

If we see some improvements on our PP, then 50 is definitely possible.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

main question will be if he can stay healthy through 82 games if so then yes i say 50 goals

 

[DiglettDangles]

Feels like 30+ is a pretty safe bet to be right

Perhaps you should have listed the choices as 0-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+ in order to actually have to predict anything...

Otherwise I think a few people are setting themselves for disappointment. I don't doubt he's able to eventually score 50 but that's high expectations considering he's got limited support and a sucky PP to get him there.

 

[Redux91]

Smells like 44 this year
But if he ever hits 50 one day.. that would be like a bucket list item for me lol ffs

 

[DesmondDekker]

Assuming he progresses and stays healthy for 82 games, 50 goals is realistic. 40 without hesitation, Papa MSL loves his son too much.

 

[Frankenheimer]

He’s already broken out, hence his mega contract.

Maintaining is gpg avg is my expectation. So whatever that works out to, around 40 I guess.

His gpg pace is 48…

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

43

I think with some new additions, more experience from the backend. I’m going to be bold and say he hits 50. I don’t think it’s that bold tbh. I feel there’s likely a more legit second line this year which should give Nick and Cole some space.

He’s got the pedigree of a top tier goal scorer and that’s what he’s shown so far. Not worried about the goals. I want to see him round out his game. He’s a great playmaker too. I think sooner or later he’ll be able to do a PPG in his sleep.

He really is a good playmaker, problem is we don’t have many players who can score so the guys are always passing the puck to him to shoot. But i think we’ll eventually see him racking up more assists.

 

[Frankenheimer]

His gpg pace is 48…

yeah, im being conservative. I sincerely hope our fan base is not disappointed with a perennial 40g guy.

Healthy I think he cracks 50 goals this year.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

50+ for Mister Caufield, he makes scoring a goal looks so easy.

 

[Dach Vader]

Extra extra bold 82 goals

 

[OldCraig71]

37 goals and 23 assists.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

37 goals and 23 assists.

In 12 games.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

5 players hit 50 goals last year. 4 the year before.

A safe bet is choosing under 50 given we’re not a playoff team.

I have him at 30+ coming off injury.

Yeah but there’s very few guys who have his goal scoring pedigree. He’s already got close to a 50 goal pace in his young career.

No one should be shocked if he’s one of the best goal scorer’s of his generation barring injuries. That’s how he was advertised at the draft and all he’s done is back up that claim since at every level.

It’s all about him staying healthy and bringing that playmaking sauce to his game. He’ll always be in the mix for top goals in a season. That much I’m convinced of

 

[Darz]

If Cole plays 82 games this year, I honestly feel like 35-40 goals is almost a sure thing. I don’t think he hits 50 this year, but I think he will in the not so distant future.

 

[JianYang]

I am interested to see how he plays post injury.

I expect he will be fine. Along with his shooting ability, he has that sixth sense of just being in the right place at the right time.

I don't like attaching specific goal totals because there's too many variables involved, but he should definitely lead the team in that category if healthy.

 

[Scintillating10]

I voted under 30 because I don't trust his shoulder
