Player Discussion Cole Caufield - Part 12

[Darkstorm]

Does Caufield has the potential to be the next Martin St-Louis or Patrick Kane ?

Yes

But the key work is he potentially could be. Doesn't mean he'll reach his ceiling.

I don't think so , Caufield's going to be good but MSL has crazy speed and skill (cups,medals) & same for Kane and he's top point producer in season/playoffs for all US born players...Not exactly fair for him to be compared to those guys.

 

[Tyson]

Surprised at how much he has struggled this season.

 

[Rapala]

Why Ducharme has not put together the Anderson-Suzuki-Caufield line like last Playoffs ?

Drouin.

at this point id be glad if he turns into a 60-70 point player and ur comparing him to 100+ point players lol

 

[Kwikwi]

If the ranger offers Lafreniere for Caufield. (Something around this)

fans are already tired of him and Kakko

 

[Gravity]

Jesus the guy that scored this beauty a few months ago is a bust now? Y'all are ridiculous. He shouldn't be back in the AHL imo but wtv. He'll be fine.

He'll come back with a vengence.

I remember wondering why Pacioretty struggled so much at about the same age as Caufield. Caufield needs to mature physically. But he's got it all: i.q., hands, shot, speed. The size factor won't hold him back, rest assured.

Just my opinion but I think what happened is that CC came red hot from his season, then played a few games in AHL where he dominated and then continued in the playoffs on this hot run. Now he starts a new season on a cold engine and with added pressure of being seen as the Calder favorite.

idk about that. a big part of his struggles this season was his tiny size. He was too easily pushed off the puck and struggled to get where he wanted to be. Im sure he will adapt but his size is certainly his only thing holding him back.

Yes, he'll mature physically. But I don't expect it to hold him back once he does.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

I compared him to Cammalleri and got scoffed at as if 294 goals in the NHL was no big deal lol.

I've also made the same comparison. It's a good comparison and a flattering one too, because Cammy was a good player.

Does cows fly ? Not in a billion years. St. Louis and Kane were freaks of nature. Martin had amazing physics for his size and Kane, well, you know Kane. Caufield is only mediocre skater for his size. That's a huge problem.

 

[OldCraig71]

CC would be most effective on a good passing team, a team that is good at executing chances off the rush and it's not a knock on him, most sniper types are at their best this way. Kessell, Pacioretty, Hoffman, Debrincat etc. He is not able to be a great forechecker or the type to generate chances in a cycle game due to his lack of size.

 

[Legend123]

Yes, he'll mature physically. But I don't expect it to hold him back once he does.

I don't expect it as well once he figures it out.

What's the story here?

 

[montreal]

What's the story here?

overblown imo, they sent a tweet bashing him but then deleted. If he doesn't want them saying that he should start playing better.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

What's the story here?

They sent the cringest tweet in hockey history about him and then backtracked and called him the best player on the ice (and said “‘twas a joke”)

big yikes all around

 

[Adam Michaels]

Utica's owner called Cole earlier today and apologized for the Tweet the team sent out.

On Sunday after the first period where Laval was playing Utica, the Comets sent out this tweet:

They got a lot of backlash. The AHL told them to delete it.

This type of marketing is a double-edge sword. When you have intelligent people running it it's very entertaining, but if you hire morons they write stuff like that because they just don't understand the fine line between funny and dumb.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Can anyone tell me how well Caufield did in the ahl? I can't follow the Rockets lately

 

[Miller Time]

is that former NHL goalie RObert Esche?

 

[Adam Michaels]

is that former NHL goalie RObert Esche?

Yes. I mistakenly said in my post it was the owner, but it is indeed the president of Utica. And that is former goalie Esche.
