From Goal Caufield to Goals Caufield, what a glow up he has had

in 2023 when he scored 26 in 46 he had a 16.5% shooting%. You apply that shooting% to his shot volume so far and it would have him on pace for 39 goals over 82 games. Even if he finishes around 20% where other elite shooters are (Matthews, Draisaitl ect) it would still only have him on pace for 47 goals.
He's not sniffing the rocket unless he starts putting the puck on net more.

Who thinks he's going to win the rocket?

Every Habs fan would be extatic with 40 goals, why do your posts sound so negative?

He started last season hot too. Only 4 goals in first 7 games maybe, but 9 points.

It's a cool streak, but when you break it down over 2 seasons it's more a matter of luck honestly, as it's 2 separate hot streaks.

We'll see what he does. I did predict he'd make a run for 50 goals this year, so I hope it happens - but it's definitely early. I want to see how he looks ~20-30 games in.

Definitely won't keep up that shooting percentage but he is also coming off a career low shooting percentage last year after the shoulder surgery.

I think it will be higher than last year.

Got to acknowledge he shot over 19% in the last 9 games last year.
It looks like it took most of the year for the shoulder to regain its strength

 

[winnipegger]

If he and Laine each sniff 40 every year that's good news for the habs. They haven't had a proper goal scoring talent since the 90s.

The Nick Suzuki effect.

I'm kidding. But not totally kidding, as Suzuki is incredibly underrated and deserves more credit and attention.

Really is unfortunate that he can never say “I’m going to Disneyland!” knowing he can’t get on most rides.

 

[MNRube]

Probably goes top 5 in a '19 redraft.

I think he does. Kind of a weak draft so far.

Hughes/Seider/Boldy the clear top 3. Then Caufield. Then you have guys like Zegras, Pinto, Broberg and maybe a few others who have a chance to sneak in the 5th spot. Could be forgetting someone too

Cherrypicker.

He had 314 shots last season and as the Habs premiere sniper, should get just as many, or even more this season as he now seems completely rehabilitated from his surgery and that should boost his confidence. With 314 shots at 16.5%, that's 51.8 goals. If he shoots 18%, which is entirely possible, it's 56.6.

OP said it looks like he'll be a rocket contender...
