Prospect Info: Cole Caufield (Part 10)

[CHfan1]

Explain more? We are talking about the rookie season right? Correct me if I am wrong, but are you not talking about the ELC being burned without palying 1 game? That is true cause it's the same as Markar. He signed at 20 too I believe and he didn't play one regular season game that year.

What I learned is I originally thought Poehling burned his cause he played 1 NHL game. Come to find that is not true but there was lots of talk on our boards about that back when. I don't remember anybody fighting that narrative back when. Do you?

Poehling and Caufield both have early Jan birthdates. Very similar situation.

 

[Habs Halifax]

You are talking about burning ELC and the post you replied to was about how many games until his rookie season kicks in.

As far as the ELC. I'm aware

 

[26Mats]

We got him under contract. I'm fine with burning the year.

Not signing him when he's NHL ready would have been gaming the system to be able to pay him far less than he's worth 3 years from now instead of what he'll start to get on a new contract after 2years - which will be at closer to his contributions on the ice. I think he'll appreciate that and that will help him remain a Hab for a long time.

Sometimes you have to do what's right.

They want him to keep his rookie status for next season, and that’s 100% fair I’m sure he wants it to. He will be up as soon as there are 9 or 10 games left or whatever the cut off is. Because once he gets in the line up he’s never being sat again until he’s at least as old as Staal lol.

Stop it with that.

Normal season, 25 games minimum
56 games season, 17 games minimum

Habs have 12 games to go

If primeau plays tonight and Lindgren is emergency recalled tomorrow and primeau returns to laval thus Lindgren is the backup.

Then Caufield can play to my understanding.

This is what’s happening.

 

[Captain97]

This is what’s happening.

Allen is starting tonight though. Supposedly.

Allen is starting tonight though. Supposedly.

It’s gonna be some combo of Allen/Primeau tonight and tomorrow. After that Lindgren will be brought up to back up Allen until Price is ready... and Caufield will follow.

They took him on the west coast for 5 games..............surely the kid will play? I mean make the roster moves you have to and get the f&*k on with this............people say the kid is a pure goal scorer!! We haven't had one since Richer for gods sake...

 

[WeThreeKings]

They are officially entering the 'mishandling' stage of this.

Like nothing here makes sense to not send him back down to Laval.

I mean I think Pacioretty qualifies, he was practically a 40 goal guy.

But I agree with you.

Are you serious? The cost to put him on a plane to Laval will cost Molson like $1000.

 

[Saundies]

Filth.

[beowulf]

I wish Caufied would be sent back to get these two games in.

 

[26Mats]

superstar

 

[Gally11]

I'm going to go into a blind rage soon if they don't give him a shot or send him back to Laval

Name another team that would do this.

 

[Hullois]

I don't really have a problem with it honestly. He's already played a whole season and he gets to spend time and practice with the NHL squad. He'll play more games before the season is over...

 

[BLONG7]

To take him on the trip, and not play him, meanwhile he could be playing with Laval............................Stupid is, Stupid does is what comes to mind.
There are 3 games left on the trip, he should play all of them.................or at least 2 of them.

Reading through the CBA again it’s a bit confusing (maybe just for me). Since the Habs don’t have all 3 of their recalls on the active roster does that mean they can still have unlimited recalls in the playoffs even if they use their 4th recall? How do other posters interpret this? @Adam Michaels, @WeThreeKings have you seen anything on Twitter on this or do you know?

From the CBA again:

a Club may exercise an unlimited number of additional regular Recalls, provided that it may have no more than three (3) Players on its Active Roster who were Recalled by way of regular Recall after the Trade Deadline. However, if a Club has Recalled four (4) Players pursuant to Section 13.12(l) above, such Club will instead be permitted to retain those four (4) Players on its Active Roster following the conclusion of the Regular Season.

Good post. I came here to ask the same question.

It's tough but my understanding is that if we use the 4 recalls.. we have to keep those 4 players on our active roster following the end of the regular season. So I think this means if we call up Caufield using non-emergency recall.. our bench would be Caufield, Ouellette, Romanov and Byron for the play-offs and we couldn't use Evans.

Can't wait to see mighty mouse in action

 

[McGees]

He on X-GAMES mode

 

[FrankMTL]

Filth.

WTF!??? At first I thought he put it through his legs and scored which would have been amazing, but he put it through his legs and then brought it back out and top cheesed it backhand. Ciboire.
