Prospect Info: Cole Caufield (Part 10)

[sampollock]

Good for the kid, hope many more to come

 

[First Line]

I still think "Billy" is the best choice. He was also a small young kid who was easy to under-rate. And probably the most dangerous shooter of all time. Although anyone who has a .22 of that make, would have a hard time not calling him "Colt Caufield"

And crafty! Here the coolest story about theBilly the kid:
“As the story goes, a drunk named Joe Grant was terrorizing the bar’s patrons and threatening to kill someone before the night was out. Sensing trouble, the Kid casually approached Grant and remarked, “That’s a mighty nice looking six-shooter you got.” He then slipped Grant’s gun out of its holster, spun its cylinder so that its next shot would be an empty chamber, and handed it back. Later that evening, Grant pulled the same pistol on the Kid and tried to shoot him in the back. When it didn’t fire, the Kid drew his own gun and shot Grant dead”

Folks still wish we sent him down? When was Laval last game even?

I think it was a bad idea to call him up. But then I think anything the bin man does ie a bad idea, so I might be a little prejudice.

It is going to save Bergy's job and give him a contract extension. Molson will remember the CC hype, and the with no fans.. Molson can't hear the boos in the rink. Perfect scenario for Bergy, covid saved his job. So much to blame rather than his mismanagement. He can say to Jeff, forget the Sergachev trade, and maybe we drafted the wrong kid with the 3rd overall pick in Kotkaniemi, did you see Cole's goal?

 

[Seb]

This guy scores wherever he goes. He's incredible.

you hope???

Bro, it's got no choice, that shot and release is absolutely lethal

 

[Hannibal]

KK should take notice.

Even though he plays with inferior teammates, he finds a way to create something and make a impact. That’s what good player do.

[canucklover123]

I can't wait till he starts letting it go in the power play, absolute bomb

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I'm in love

 

[The Price is Right]

I met Tevor Timmins at the Ivan Hlinka tournament in Czech Republic and asked him about CC. It was the summer after they drafted him and he told me "Biggest steal in the draft". 2 years later he could be 100% right

That’s what I don’t see with KK..

He’s an alright player but doesn’t step up in big moments. Not what you want in a third overall pick.

Whi will be a better goal scorer in 2 years, Caufield or Matthews?

Place your bets.

KK got 4 playoff goals last year.

Youppiiii

TT will get another 10 yrs as head of scouting for this one like he did for 2007 draft

 

[Miller Time]

i was calling for him to spend more time in the AHL vs getting thrown into the NHL and expected to score right away... Kid is proving me wrong in spades.

Granted, it's OT opportunities that he's converting, and it's clear he'll need some time to get his game up to speed outside of the offensive zone to be able to be used more than sporadically and opportunistically... but as long as the coaches keep that focus of heavy pp/OT/"need to score" ice time and shelter him from being exploited/liability at ES and when opposing coaches get last change, let er' rip!

 

[Et le But]

He reminds me of Cammalleri, but hopefully with a better attitude. But we were desperately missing a sniper...I know everyone wants nothing but power forwards but we need any sort of offensive weapons we can get. Teams will play him more physically now that he's getting their attention but he seems to have the shiftiness to pick his spots.

hard to step up when you don't get any ice time in those moments lol

Finding another good American player will be used to justify another decade of American high school unknowns who have impressive bench pressing skills.

 

[NewDef]

Just imagine for a second if CC was 6'2, we'd talk about the next Ovetchkin... oh and he'd be a 1st OA! what a shot!

 

[neopreneur]

The thing with Caufield is that he's always had to deal with bigger players, and ALWAYS found a way to be the BEST scorer. He'll always have PP time, which he can either be the decoy or the finisher. Teams will game plan around HIM, but this is no different than his entire cumulative hockey experience.

He'll be just fine, welcome to the NHL bud.

What was wrong with Cammalleri's attitude? One of the few guys on that Gauthier era of garbage teams who wasn't happy to go along with the team's loser mindset.

Cammalleri's a good comparable IMO, has basically been that long since we've had a first shot sniper with any panache. I'm so excited to keep watching him play and develop, most excited I've been for a prospect since Subban.
