Hoping to get out to see him play at UBC on Friday - depends on work. Should be fun, I never get to see habs prospects.

 

[CauZuki]

Finding out he was drafted when I just happened to be walking by a bar and seeing it on a soundless tv while having NO idea (I knew the top 2, Broberg and I saw that Philly just took York) who was taken before our pick was the BEST way to see it hahaha. I just died laughing when I saw his name flash up on the screen. Eff me there was no way I thought he'd be there.

I figured he would be gone at 6th or 7th, big pull for the Habs in that draft.

Playing poker against a known bluffer. Flop comes and you fill out an ace high straight, two suited cards are in the flop. You raise, the bluffer calls. The turn card is nothing, you raise big. Bluffer calls again. Then comes the river, now there are three suited cards on the board. You make a quarter pot raise and the bluffer comes in over top of you, all in. Now what? This is how I feel about Caufield. At that position we almost have to draft him (call), but you really don't want to. I really hope it works out and we have our own Johnny Hockey, some excitement in the rink would be awesome, but I'm not sold yet.

2 questions:

1) Why do you feel we "have to draft him" at 15?

2) What are your reservations/dislikes about him?

Same here, I am leery of the guys that fall, its usually for a reason. In this case it is hopefully just his size and it turns out its not an issue. I remember we got a steal in 2003 when andre K fell to 10th

Fowler, Forsberg and Chychrun also comes to mind.

Yeah Filip Forsberg was the first name that came to mind. A less extreme fall, but a still a fall, is Seth Jones. Barkov is damn good, but so is Seth Jones in the end. Drouin... not so much.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Fowler, Forsberg and Chychrun also comes to mind.

Getzlaf was also a faller in 2003. I'd say he turned in to a pretty damn good NHLer.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

There have been many cases of player falling and succeeding.

Forsberg, Parise, Getzlaf, Couturier, Barzal, Connor

Scouts have made and will continue to make mistake and most of time you need the perfect storm to get the player you wanted. In 2012 Forsberg dropped because teams went for many defenseman just like this year.

Caufield size disadvantage is the only apparent "weakness" other than that he is pretty much elite.

Only time will tell but we have every rights to be excited with him.

His size is the only reservation about him that I have. I love what he brings to the table. I felt like he was easily the best talent available where we were drafting, so it feels like we had to draft him.

I don't follow the prospects nearly enough to take my own opinion seriously. Just hope Timmins and his staff got it right.

 

[Andrei79]

Still happy we got him. It makes me even happier we didnt draft Zadina.


Now, all we need is a Tkachuk

Considering Timmons shot down a trade to move down a couple spots and get a 3rd rounder, this must have meant they wanted Caufield BAD.

You have to call with an Ace high straight and take your beating like a man if he has the flush.

You're the man. Thanks for this.

I'm assuming the live stream will start at puck drop?

EDIT: Just started. Thanks again!
