He is just starting to peak.
Dude has always been a scoring machine.
Question of time before he hits 40 or 50.
Probably goes top 5 in a '19 redraft.

Pure goal scorer score goals in sequence. Caufield is in a good one right now. He’ll have harder stretches of games when pucks doesn’t go in.
At the end of the year, it’ll all even out. He’s probably good for 40+ if he stay healthy this year

He was coming off a shoulder surgery a couple offseasons ago and he didn't quite look like himself afterwards.
He won't keep up this particular pace, but it looks like caufield is back.

impressive but super small sample size and very unsustainable shooting %. Will probably finish around 40 goals unless he starts to put more pucks on net once his Shooting % stabilizes.
To answer your question, Stamkos scored 16 in 17 games from March 14th - April 17th last year. Not a super rare thing.

He’s scoring like he was prior to his shoulder surgery. It seems like he’s finally getting that zip back that he had prior to the surgery. I’m guessing his arm strength wasnt up to snuff most of last season hence the good but not great goal total. He does really look like a strong candidate for 50+ goals

Not a fan of these types of cutoffs , Caufield looks like he's back at 100% with his shooting form though

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.

Aside from his shoulder surgery rehab season last year, Caufield was a pretty consistent scorer. He scored regularly, not in bunches.
From the moment MSL took control of the bench up to Cole's surgery, he had 48 goals in 83 games, and those goals were pretty evenly spaced throughout games.
It's just a matter of games until he hits 40 and a matter of time until he gets 50.

That's the point of talking about the sequence. No Habs fan in their right mind thinks Caufield is heading for a GPG season.

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.
Rocket is an extremely long shot
Id be thrilled with 40+. Last hab to score that in a season I dont even remember

I never brought up the rocket. The only context I'm providing is that he looked off last year and now he seems to be back.
I think it's reasonable to expect that he will surpass his total from last year quite easily.

40 even I think it’s Vinny D in 1994. 40+ is Richer’s two 50 goal seasons in 88 and 90.

Damphousse, the year after Montreal won their last cup (93-94)
its been a tough go, over 30 years. Pacioretty I believe had 37 and 39 goal seasons.

You tell me. I never saw a Stanley Cup in Montreal or a 40 goal scorer in my lifetime.
To me, Montreal is just a bad team. Never knew anything else lmao.

Pacioretty was an interesting one. I don't recall him being a great power play player, but I think he was one of the very best even strength scorers at that time.

Because he had Markov and Subban feeding him off the rush. IIRC, the duo combined for assists on more than 60% of Pac's goals in the time we had both Ds in the lineup.
Okay, maybe not super rare, but if Cole stays hot his scoring could be served medium-rare. The steaks are high this season.

I'm not sure how sustainable his 31% shooting percentage is this year, but I'm here for it.
