[CauZuki]

Kid can shoot,pass and skate , watchout we got a good one!

[Nedved]

If he plays junior hockey instead of college hockey, does he go top 5? He reminds me of Kane.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Best prospect I've seen in my lifetime for the habs.

 

[The Great Weal]

Probably the best forward Timmins has drafted. Pacioretty is a loser that you can't win games with when he's your best forward, Caufield does it all and is involved defensively.

... and defend, anticipate... and just think.

 

[calder candidate]

Remember how impressed I was when I first saw him at rookie camp and now he is doing the same thing the NHL playoff.

 

[superstar436]

He is the best Hab drafted forward since _______ (Fill in the blank)

[montreal]

no U-21 player in the NHL playoffs has more points the Caufield. Lucky we sat him for the first 2 games so the leafs didn't get embarrassed.

 

[Habsfan18]

He and Suzuki are the future of this club and for that we should all be f***ing thrilled.

And hopefully this future is also NOW.

 

[Milhouse40]

Absolute steal of the draft......
I thought very highly of him before we drafted him and he's even better than I expected.

 

[Goldenhands]

Always said his passing was underrated, tjis kid can do it all, his quickness, shiftiness and speed level he processes the game are unreal...

 

[Banjo Cat]

In some cheesy way, he looks like that clean-cut, pure-of-heart type hero from a Disney movie or something.

 

[montreal]

If GM's called and offered their 2019 draft pick to MB one for one, is there anyone you would trade CC for?

I said in a re-draft he would go top 3 or 5 at worst, but not sure there's anyone I would risk trading him for one for one.

 

[Jabba11]

The difference between the dominating Habs of the first 10 games of the season and this version of the playoffs: Cole Caufield.

He was exactly the dynamic spark that we lacked of back when we started the season. So glad he is progressing so well and having an impact for us. His Rookie Young Guns card next year will be $$$$$$$$$

 

[Kojo]

He's still very small, but boy is he fast? And that world league shot of his, the sky is the limit for him.

 

[417]

It's crazy to think he started the playoffs as a healthy scratch.

 

[Hannibal]

He is impressive!!

 

[TheBuriedHab]

I'm just impressed with how he constantly comes off the boards with the puck vs guys twice his size. I was always worried about him getting killed along the wall but he's doing just fine.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

He's having a rookie Subban-like impact. He's producing points and they matter.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

You know I’m right

If he plays junior hockey instead of college hockey, does he go top 5? He reminds me of Kane.

No way. People were talking about his skill/potential - I don't think that was ever in doubt, it's just his size that caused him to drop. I don't think that changes anything. Maybe he goes a bit higher than 15, but no chance he goes top 5 imo.

I think Suzuki flew a bit more under the radar at his draft - with Caufield, it was always talk about whether he'll succeed with his size. I've liked his potential from the start, but I always said he was a high risk/high reward player. He either figures it out with his size, or he doesn't. If he does, he'll be a star, if he doesn't, he'll be a bust, I didn't really see a middle ground.

He looks amazing so far.

 

[Walrus26]

Beats playing for the Flyers, eh?

CC belongs here, the chemistry on display is palpable.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I said in a re-draft he would go top 3 or 5 at worst, but not sure there's anyone I would risk trading him for one for one.

I said it on draft day and I'll say it again: He was about 3 inches away from 1st overall.

 

[Habs Icing]

I can still recall the first time I saw him at the U18. My jaw dropped. But today he is twice the player he was back then. MB and Timmins really got lucky with CC.
