Post-Game Talk: {NCAA} Wisconsin vs. Michigan State (7 pts in 2 games for Caufield - 4G, 3A)

Guhle is 18. I would wait until 20/21 years old before to see him in the show. He will learn in the ahl and thats allright. Nonneed to rush him but romanov/weber and guhle/petry would be sick

yeah there is no rush.

In fact after Mete, Fleury, Poehling, I hope there are enough good D ahead of him that it takes him time to earn a spot - unless he's just really really good, really really early.

I'm super high on Holloway. The guy is a f***ing unreal skater.

Gives full effort every shift too, he’s got really good defensive hockey IQ as well.

The offence is starting to roll for him now which is good.

He’s probably my favourite Oiler prospect, I love so much of what he does away from the puck that our team needs. Probably needs another year at Wisconsin as he’s just establishing himself as the #1C there and needs to keep working on his offensive game with his stick handling and puck skills. Lots to like though with the way he plays.

Caufield looks pretty close to NHL ready he’s dominant offensively at this level. If he’s got a good look with a shot he doesn’t miss it too often. Fun player to watch as I’m cheering for the Badgers.

I noticed a video on youtube comparing Caufield's developement to Johnny Gaudreau and that last shift he just had definitely gave me some Johnny Hockey vibes hehe. Could Caufield become a poor man's Gaudreau? I believe Caufield is much more than a shooter and if his game translate to the NHL, he's going to be a point producing machine

Maybe a poor man's Gaudreau with a rich man's Cammalleri shot.

I sure hope his ceiling in the nhl will be more than just a poor mans Gaudreau. Or are we looking at a 50-60 pts at best?

Edit: i forgot about Gaudreaus 99pts season. I thought he was ppg or like a 75pts player.

Caufield now assists on Holloway's goal. Great back pressure by Cole there.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Caufield sets up Holloway

 

[Redux91]

Really would of been great to get our hands on Holloway, damn it lol

That was a beauty goal.

Our boys are crushing it tonight, good game to pick up on a national broadcast on a slow NHL night.

I was hoping as hell he would slip to our pick...

Stupid Oilers

Game seems to slow down a bit when Caufield gets off the ice

 

[Naslund]

Best thing that could have happened to Caufield's career is a so-so WJC. Probably made him hungry, very hungry.

It was the same thing last year. He had an underwhelming WJC (where he was poorly used), and when he returnes to Wisconsin, he went on a tear.

That goal there is why I had no fear with Habs taking this kid. He's not just a great shot who can score from the perimeter.

He has great hands in tight and is sneaky about hanging around the net. He finds dead spots on the ice to get open and has the hands to pull the puck from traffic and shoot in one motion in the slot.

Can see him working well with either Suzuki or Kotkaniemi. Looking forward to it!

Caufield and Gorniak are playing again today at 4PM ET on TSN5 and RDS.

A sort of double header for anyone interested. Wisconsin/Michigan State at 4 and Habs/Flames at 7.

Looking forward to this game more than I am the Oilers game tonight lol

Hopefully the Badgers keep it rolling, they looked deadly yesterday.

We know the "my team sucks but at least we have prospects" feel very well

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Caufield is going to make us very glad we didn’t include him in a package for PLD.

KK is already doing that.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

KK is already doing that.

Agreed, but we’ll leave that for the KK thread.

 

[HabsDood]

Game on

 

[Adam Michaels]

Man can Gorniak skate.

 

[HuGo Sham]

giving bergevin some love. in recent years, he's got habs into that conveyor belt of excess picks, which gives us more chips to find quality prospects and then he just flips the excess picks for more the following year. it's f***ing smart

 

[peate]

Looks like a big ice surface, is it Olympic sized?

Think its the camera angle lol

That's what I thought, but look at the space behind the net.
