Proposal: Caufield and a 2nd for Lafraniere...

[HabsAddict]

NYR get a small but potential high scoring sniper. Maybe another Debrincat. Or a dud.

Habs get a home boy that may live up to his potential and be a star. Maybe a star or maybe Drouin 2. Or nothing but bottom 6 grinder.

The 2nd is to bridge the gap between the two players potential.

This is actually an interesting risk that both teams can take and may work out for both. Or not.

Just no who cares if Lafraniere is quebecois. He has size and more potential than Caufield so this is just terrible and I like Caufield.

 

[deca guard]

habs have to add way more despite laf's slow start as his ceilings way higher than the physically limited cole

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Rangers dont care if Lafreniere is French Canadian in origin. Habs dont hold that privilege anymore. The gap between the two is a lot more than a 2nd

 

[malcb33]

Not that I'm for or against the trade, but I find it interesting that people saying Laf is worth "way" more etc. Is that solely based on draft position?

I think that both have a lot of potential and both could be high-end wingers, but I think at this stage CC has had a lot less time to prove himself, and Laf hasn't shown much in the time he's had.

I guess the Rangers could try to make the Habs pay for the whole Quebecois angle, but I'd guess they're perfectly fine with CC's upside.

No its based on potential, Lafreniere's is way higher

 

[sansabri]

sure. let's trade for a kid who hasn't lived up to his draft ranking and put him under the québecois media microscope. what could possibly go wrong

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Based on what?

I'm not too high on either, but Caufield has shown flashes of elite goal scoring ability. Haven't seen that from Lafreniere.

You mean Caufield? Neither have lived up to their draft ranking so not sure which one you mean.

No.

pretty big diff between being drafted 1st and in the middle of the first round - also, Caufield has already shown what he can do when it counts

You know what the word "potential" means? The draft is choking with them.

At this point, the draft position means little. It's more what we have seen from both of them.

CC looked like he's rookie of the year shoe in....and it got to his head. He's not competing and it shows. If he was the CC of last playoffs, Rangers would have to add substantially.

I can't speak for Laffy.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Caufield + Primeau + 2nd

 

[pld459666]

Lafreniere is not getting traded for anything less than an overpayment.

Rangers are in no rush to move on from this young man.

Just like Kaako is now clicking, Alexis will also get his game going as well.

Lafreniere has shown a lot to be desired from a 1st overall, but Caufield has definitely not shown flashes of elite goal-scoring ability at the NHL level. Laf has scored goals at a higher clip than Caufield has, whether or not you include the latter's post-season appearance.

Caufield
9g 20p in 46gp

Lafreniere
17g 27p in 78gp

Productivity is essentially equal, but Caufield has actually shown by visible flashes of a dynamic goal scorer, a guy who can make plays out of nothing.

Lafreniere hasn't really shown that, and a large portion of his goals are gimmes off of great plays from his teammates.

And how much of caufields points are on the powerplay? Laf is unfortunately on a stacked lineup and does not get pp1 time.
Laf also has the physicality to play and do great in the playoffs.

Hell no

3 PP points for Caufield. Lafreniere has 0 PP points in over 100 career minutes on the PP.

I don't think Lafreniere has the intensity or skating ability to be effective in the playoffs at this point in time.

This was just trolling, right? No one could think the difference is a second round pick.

 

[Price is Wright]

Way too early for a Falloon/Prospal/2nd for Daigle trade.

Stacked is a bit of an exaggeration only zib makes list of top 20 goal scorers.

Obviously I'm wrong. NYR must add a 1st....
