Go Habs!
Yes, Caufield made a very nice move on that goal. He also demonstrated a pretty hard shot on a couple of other plays that did not make the highlight reel.
That is amazing, especially for a player of his size. Caufield just seems to have a nose for the puck and knack for putting it in the net. When I first saw him playing for the U17 team last autumn, I wasn't sure what to expect, but he just makes plays.It’s been overshadowed by Hughes chasing the overall points record but, with 54 goals on the season, Caufield is just 1 goal shy of Matthews’ 55 goal season record. He’s on his way to becoming the top goal scorer in NTDP history.
why the hell don't you post more often Cagney??? One of the few posters when I see their username I look forward to something insightful!It’s been overshadowed by Hughes chasing the overall points record but, with 54 goals on the season, Caufield is just 1 goal shy of Matthews’ 55 goal season record.

I do like the Alex DeBrincat comps for him... Button said the same thing only difference is teams won't be afraid to draft Cole higher unlike Cat who went criminally low for his skillset.That is amazing, especially for a player of his size.

well get ready to defend him x10 compared to the shit we have heard with Quinn Hughes!!! "No way a 5'7 forward goes in the top 10!!" I am with you though, kid is the shit and plays much bigger than he is, goes into the dirty areas, throws some pretty big hits, and just sees the game at a different level than most of his peers.I'm hella biased towards DeBrincat type players (small, impact guys), but Caulfield is definitely my favourite player in the 2019 draft. Obviously he's not the best, but certainly amongst them. Gotta be a top 10 pick at least atm.
...and so it begins lol!!!!I just think top 10 is too high. 11-20 seems a more appropriate range. Has there ever been a player picked in the top 10 who was under 5'10?
Can't think of any, but how many guys under 5'10" SHOULD'VE been drafted in the top 10? Cause I think of quite a few. Arvidsson, DeBrincat, Gaudreau, to name a few. That happens because people keep underrating them. Caulfield won't be any different.I just think top 10 is too high. 11-20 seems a more appropriate range.

oh I agree, just laughing as that is what you posted right after we said what we said.I'm a fan of Caufield, but there has to be reason for him to go top 10, it can't just be that we are fans of him because he's a good American player. I wouldn't want my team picking a player just because I rooted for the player at the international level, if it didn't end up actually helping my favorite team to do that.
he is now 5'7.5 lol...just saying, he did grow an inch and a half this offseason!!I feel like Cole Caufield doesn't get talked about enough. He is a brilliant goal scorer who knows where to be on the ice and takes advantage of his opportunities. Of course, he is only 5'6 and plays on the wing of a superstar, but remember that DeBrincat fell for the exact same reasons. Caufield's 54 goals last year were by far the most by a U-17 USDP player ever (Hughes was second with 40). Not only is he just an opportunistic goal scorer, but he's an underrated passer. Always seems to make the right play when I watch him play. I have him pegged for at least the top 15 of this draft.
Glad to know he is still growing!he is now 5'7.5 lol...just saying, he did grow an inch and a half this offseason!!
