Yes, he will have to be unorthodox, but he can't be a puff of smoke on the forecheck.
Last night that line didn't generate many clean entries and they just couldn't retrieve the puck after dump ins the whole night.
that's why i don't love the toffoli-suzuki-caufield line... they lack an element of physicality/puck retrieval. It may be a "live with it" situation given the playoffs and the relatively consistent offense that has come from them, but looking next year, i hope/think we'll seen Toffoli/Caufield split up (or the two of them playing with JKO and Anderson moving back to Suzuki's wing along with Drouin's replacement).
That’s why I’m pushing for Saad. I think he’s a great veteran and physical LW that fits perfectly with Nick and Cole.

Killorn wouldn't be too bad either.That’s why I’m pushing for Saad. I think he’s a great veteran and physical LW that fits perfectly with Nick and Cole.
Do you find that Caufield has relatively missed his shots (fendre l'air) often, much more than other players ? Comment on dit 'fendre l'air' en anglais ?

I very much hope part of the off season plan is to find a good match for Suzuki and Caufield, idealy with a bigger left shooting player with enough skill to keep up. KK would fit the bill pretty well when you think about it, if he were to embrace the LW role and give it his best shot. I really think we could have something there. Guys like Saad and Kilhorn are obvious candidates as well, if we go the UFA route . Saad has the old blackhawks connection, Bergy was there when he was drafted.that's why i don't love the toffoli-suzuki-caufield line... they lack an element of physicality/puck retrieval.

I'm 100% sure Berg's calendar for Free Agency day has a picture of Saad stapled to it.
Yeah, hes 100% going after Saad, 0 doubt
Those who have seen him play at his prime will agree:
By far the best player ever on breakaway was:
Mario Lemieux
Unstoppable for a goaltender...Hasek, Roy name it ...Lemieux with his hands, moves, his long reach or..... his shot at the top right corner he was simply amazing
Caufield yesterday reminded me Lemieux with his perfect top right shot on Fleury...
Caufield is the real deal
