Will Cole Caulfield be a better player than Cam Atkinson?

[MarkusNaslund19]

May seem like a random comparison, but he reminds me a little bit of Atkinson though he's slower and has a better shot.

My question basically has to do with career value. Atkinson has had good years and mediocre years. At the end of it all, do you think Caulfield will be better?

For the record, I think Caulfield will be a good player, but I predict he will be slightly worse than Atkinson (which is really no slight).

This was a relatively easy no.

Atkinson is a good player. He has a 35 and a 40 goal (?!?) season to his name. Thats a ceiling 99%+ prospects won't reach.

Atkinson is a thick little dude. Habs had better get Cole in the gym like yesterday.

As a Habs fan, I'll be very happy if he becomes ¾ the player Atkinson is.

I’m going to say yes, but not because I expect him to be so much better. Atkinson didn’t reach the NHL until he was 22. Caufield will reach the NHL at 20. I think two years when it’s close will make the difference.
