Ya but it’s a huge step up when playing against elite men in the nhl. Most of the college guys will never make it, whereas everyone in the nhl is pro. The kid needs time.

Isn't that the case for all players? Yet people seem to believe you can go from Liiga or KHL to the NHL directly(they share the same disparity of talent you suggested). Caufield doesn't need to put on a tonne of muscle like more lanky players. I believe he can be like a Suzuki , if he proves his worth to start the season and keeps progressing, I don't see the problem with him being on the pro roster in a sheltered role.

Ya but Liga and KHL have guys in they’re 30’s who have been around. It’s not college.

Caufield just split the D on the PP and rang it off the post, just missed getting his 20th of the year.

montreal · Feb 28, 2020

Caufield picks up an assist as Turcotte put in his rebound. Now up to 35 pts on the season.

montreal · Feb 28, 2020

Caufield on a breakaway just missed putting it home after some weak play in his own end. The goalie just got a toe on it.

montreal · Feb 28, 2020

another assist for Caufield, on the PP, but it is under review.

montreal · Feb 28, 2020

no goal after a long review.

montreal · Feb 28, 2020

after getting jobbed on that no goal call imo, as it should have counted, they score on the same PP. Caufield would have had the 3rd assist if they counted them.

If he plays in laval, does that mean his college career is over?

yes.

Not sure if this has already been discussed but Wisconsin's last regular season game is tomorrow (Sat Feb 29th). Since they are in last place, I'm assuming that they do not have any additional playoff games? If so, Caufield might declare he is going pro as early as tomorrow night right?

Thanks, would that mean that he is potentially done after next weekend (Big Ten first round)?

yes, would be surprised if they can win in the best of 3 next weekend.

Which means we could see him as early as the Nashville game on the 10th

It's getting old guys. No one's saying he's going to the NHL. Just you guys.

Can't we put the politics aside and be excited if our AHL club might get an injection of both caufield and ylonen before the end of the year. Let's not forget what one of the AHLs functions is: development.

JackZap · Feb 29, 2020

Leave him in the NCAA

OldScool · Feb 29, 2020

Bergevin interview stated they want him to stay in wisconsin for another year. If caufield feels strongly they will put him in larval but preference is wisconsin.

I liked that part of the interview. It tells me they don't want to rush him.

Ultimately, when it comes to players in the NCAA, the player does have a say because it's also regarding their education. Some, like Evans, wanted to stay and finish and get their degree. Others prefer foregoing it all and turn pro.

So Caufield does have a say. However, if he does turn pro, he'll go through Laval. And that's the part I liked.

I don’t watch many college games. Are there any nhler thst come from Wisconsin’s system?

I like that. If he burns up the AHL, he can be brought up, but if hockey is more important to him than school, he might as well turn pro.
