This might be the year Cole loses his virginity (The money from the new contrat certainly won't hurt).

If he plays all 82 games, he can score 40+. But, he has yet to do that, so we'll see.
If he gets 40 goals in 50 games, he can take the rest of the season off for therapy if he want. ;)

We get that point but in his last 83 games with MSL as his coach, he has 48 goals I believe.

Personally, 40+ is well within him but is he a 40+ goal guy season after season? Not sure... he could have a few 30-40 seasons as well.

If I'm being conservative, I'm going to say he scores 37, 38, or 39... because he ends up playing 65-70 games. A smaller player like this will get more and more attention and the big boys will try to punish him where they can.

Powerplay key for Caufield approach 50. If this team stays healthy powerplay will take care of itself.

PP and Health. We have to consider that as a smaller player, he is going to get attention and the book is out now. Kid can score and he's dangerous. That means he's going to get physical attention from the other teams coaches plan heading into the game. As a smaller player, he could get banged up.

He's a great skater with high hockey IQ but he won't escape all punishing hits.

The better poll with me is how many games does he play? 60, 70, or 80?

If anybody plays golf and wants head covers with special Habs logos, I can probably hook you up.

I got a Habs one for my driver and a Caufield one for my putter. Leather covers hand made here in Halifax (not from China) and the company who makes them also supplies covers for PGA professionals. B Koepka has one. Decent prices... not cheap or expensive. I think they are fair and they are quality products.

I'll send pictures of my driver cover and putter cover sometime.

He's looked really good in the preseason.

His skating has improved and it's very noticeable.

Just keeps getting better and better.

One thing is apparent; he's a lot stronger this season.
Still Smurf size, but he wins more board battles and looks more involved and efficient in the neutral zone.
I have zero worries he'll score a ton of goals, but I expect a very welcomed bonus of him cutting down on giveaways and improving on creating turnovers.

He makes it look so easy.

Who’s the last pure sniper we’ve had?

I don’t think Pacioretty was a sniper — he felt more of a shooter to me.

He's going to score 40 if he's healthy. It's not only that he generates shots, but the shots are almost always high scoring chances.

I think he hits 50 at least once in his career.

Cammalleri. Caufield is Cammalleri on roids.
