Prospect Info: Cole Caufield (Part 9)

[montreal]

Bonuses?

the only performance bonus he can get is the games played which is 25K if he plays in 10 games. He could have gotten 107,500K if he played in 20 games

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

He would have to play over 25 games to keep his calder eligibility, no? So matter when he starts playing, he keeps it...

EDIT : I also couldn't care less about his calder eligibility as long as he scores goals and makes us a better team.

You might not care, but maybe Caufield does???

and it’s 10 games this year apparently

 

[CAUFIELD]

So, he won’t play in the NHL till the playoffs ?

 

[montreal]

So glad we used Ouellet for that one game on the 14th, no pts, -1, 16:56 to burn one of the recalls post trade deadline.

This is why it’s tough for the Habs to recall Caufield unless there was an injury. I had posted this in the pre-game thread also.

From the CBA:

Following the conclusion of the Regular Season, no Player may be Recalled from Loan to a club of any league affiliated with the NHL, except that:

(i) a Club may exercise an unlimited number of additional regular Recalls, provided that it may have no more than three (3) Players on its Active Roster who were Recalled by way of regular Recall after the Trade Deadline. However, if a Club has Recalled four (4) Players pursuant to Section 13.12(l) above, such Club will instead be permitted to retain those four (4) Players on its Active Roster following the conclusion of the Regular Season.

The Habs have already used their 3 post deadline recalls, if they use their 4th on Caufield they lose their ability to have an unlimited number of additional regular Recalls in the playoffs.

They really f***ed up at the deadline calling up Leskinen and Ouellet.

 

[26Mats]

No we want to see Caufield in uniform in a real game.

 

[Supersonic]

no one else on the roster can shoot like that

 

[McGuires Corndog]

There’s only a handful of guys in the league that can shoot like that, lol.

 

[Schwang]

Because playing 1 or 2 games in the AHL isn't going to do anything for Caufield's career.

It's just pointless travel.

As opposed to sitting in the stands on his cell phone?

 

[McGuires Corndog]

As opposed to sitting in the stands on his cell phone?

I can already picture his texts to Holloway

“Bruh, I can’t believe I’m in the stands right now and Drouin is on the ice. 2 goals. “

 

[Geecko]

Voyons donc. I still don't understand the 2nd goal. The puck just teleports itself into the top net?

 

[OldCraig71]

Toffoli, Anderson and Petry can(all right shots) and it is no coincidence that they have carried the team this year. Shooting is an art that surprisingly many NHL players are not great at. Don't get me wrong, they are all good at this level but the great ones are rare. One other thing that helps Caufield is the fact that he is a right-handed shot, it is harder for goalies, most of whom are right-handed to square themselves to the shot.

Most try and lure players to go glove side and for a left handed shooter the tendency is to go there but righties are looking at the blocker when in stride and have the goalie guessing more because they are more accustomed to defending against left shot players. Left shot players tend to be better set up players and righties tend to win scoring championships.

I don't think I've seen a shot leave a blade quicker than his. Matthews' is the closest thing.

 

[Andrei79]

Look at the speed of those handles. Patty Kane like.

 

[Gravity]

He better play on KK's wing.

 

[26Mats]

Voyons donc. I still don't understand the 2nd goal. The puck just teleports itself into the top net?

I'm so glad he's 5'7. No way he would have fallen to 15 if he wasn't.

He does practice with the team...it's certainly not ideal but I don't know why it has to be dramatized either.

 

[417]

I don't think I've seen a shot leave a blade quicker than his. Matthews' is the closest thing.

Not only that but his ability to change angles and find different launch points is insane. He's got amazing shooting mechanics.

 

[LastRide]

They need to either play him or send him back to Laval. To bad they wasted a way a couple call ups.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Not only that but his ability to change angles and find different launch points is insane. He's got amazing shooting mechanics.

Exactly. Very Matthews-like, but Caufield seems to get it off even quicker.

 

[CHfan1]

I'm so glad he's 5'7. No way he would have fallen to 15 if he wasn't.

I agree. Not sure if it matters but he says he’s 5’8 now.

 

[Dondini]

I agree. Not sure if it matters but he says he’s 5’8 now.

and technically you can grow until your 25, I reckon he will be 6’1-6’3 range for his peak years

 

[EveryDay]

I really hope that they will do what DJ Smith is doing with Pinto and give him some good linemates.

Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Caufield

Ang when Gally is back from injury and goes back with Danault and Tatar put Anderson with KK and CC.

 

[jaffy27]

As opposed to sitting in the stands on his cell phone?

Is that all he’s doing??

I was under the impression he was practicing with the big club developing chemistry with some of his new mates and learning from some savvy vets.....my mistake
