Prospect Info: Cole Caufield (Part 4)

[Digitalbooya]

Wisconsin has 23 shots on goal through two periods. Cole Caufield has 8 of those shots.

 

[ZUKI]

Another goal for Caufield. Number 12 on the season

Apparently he also had 8 shots on goal after only two periods. Pfff..not even in double digits yet.

he put it 3 times on the iron last game .That guy is unreal

 

[FrankMTL]

Another angle for his second goal. Look at the speed.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Im wondering if LAK would taking Caufield over Turcotte today

Not an LA Kings fan, but Turcotte is the better player right now and plays the more important position. Really doubt they would.

 

[CauZuki]

Caufield looks great on the left side didn't get an assist put was part of the play that lead to tying the game up at 4.



Edit: Damn, Wisconsin loses in OT , 5-4.

 

[Hacketts]

Maybe this is the team we want to tank.

Another angle for his second goal. Look at the speed.

He's going to be so much fun to watch.

He may be good at the NHL level right out of the gate. But let's be patient - and keep filling our system with good offensive players like him.

 

[The Great Weal]

But let's be patient

Don't think that will happen. We've got people calling Kotkaniemi the next Lars Eller despite him being the 5th youngest player in the league. I sure hope Caufield becomes a 30+ goalscorer for us.

 

[HBDay]

Is he still on pace to reach some type of goal scoring milestone in ncaa?

The record is pretty high

But if he does in fact get to 30 goals? itll be time to get real excited, if you arent already

He's on oace to surpass Eichel's 26. What's the record though?

Johnny Gaudreau had 36 goals in 40 games (2013/2014). That's the highest goals total in a season recently (after lock out)

[Skip Bayless]

The fact that he's scoring as much with that garbage team says everything.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

our best prospect since Subban?

They’re a talented team with a bad coach.

As Shannon would say: “Skippppppppppp”

Gaudreau was two years older that year. At Caufield's age, he scored 21 goals in 44 games and had 1.0ppg

Gaudreau also played in a weaker league and had more teammates with big point totals, including Chris Kreider who had one more point than him.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

our best prospect since Subban?

No, Galchenyuk and kotkaniemi were both better prospects than Caufield

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Another angle for his second goal. Look at the speed.

really doesn't seem like skating's an issue. He could get a BIT faster but he looked plenty fast there. Man he's gonna be a beauty.

 

[Gyfu]

No, Galchenyuk and kotkaniemi were both better prospects than Caufield

Respectfully disagree, size made a difference in the end, Caufield wasn't supposed to be around past the 10th pick (some even saw thought top-5) but being under "5,10" you just can't be good enough... Size>>>skill ...

 

[FrankMTL]

Wisconsin is really having issues scoring the last little while. Caufield has points on 4 of Wisconsin's last 8 goals, and he was on the ice and directly implicated in at least one more without getting a point. Turcotte is on a real cold streak at the moment with no points in the last 6 games.

Caufield also had 12 of Wisconsin's 37 shots last night...so basically 1/3. Caufield is leading the NCAA in shots on goal with 79 in 18 games. He's second in the NCAA with 12 goals in 18 games.

 

[CHarlie]

He's on oace to surpass Eichel's 26. What's the record though?

They said he didnt have speed? Wow . That looked fast to me.

Ahhh patience, yes my friend, preach to the choir.

Patience like not bringing up your 20 year old goalie on home ice against the number one offense in hockey. How STUPID.

Patience like keeping an 18 year old from Finland on your roster.

I would like to see the organization have a little more patience.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Spoken like a typical fanboy, Shannon.

But you're original point is still wrong IMO. You can't call a team with three 1st round picks, a likely 2020 1st round pick, and (I believe) 13 NHL draft picks on the roster not talented. It's 100% on Granato at this point. I'm actually shocked that Weissbach isn't with Caufield. You don't take the teams best playmaker and the best goal scorer and then separate them. Team offense has been trending down ever since.
