Cole Caufield: Is this the year?

[Lafleurs Guy]

Can't have 2 pint sized forwards in your top6. The correct play would have been to trade CC for a legit RHD and draft Michkov. Either way however, CC is not a bad player. He's a perimeter sniper, and a usefull tool to have on the PP..

I said the same with hutson.. the kid is the same size as peewee players..

Small doesn't work. Small and weak even worse..

To be effective in todays NHL you need to have Speed, Size, strength and Grit.

You know what wins cups?

Goals.

No one is trading you a legitimate RHD for Caufield.. similarly it would be difficult to even trade Michkov for a top end RHD.

RHD are always going to be more valuable than small scoring wingers.

A team needs these qualities, not each individual player. Just look at Florida’s top 6 with Verhaeghe, Rodrigues and Reinhart.

CC is an opportunistic scorer. There’s a little cheat in his game, as there has to be with this type of player. Is he a line-driving, 200ft, all-round top player? No. Does he have to be? No.

I would like to see him clean up his puck security. His play off the 1/2 wall has been a tragedy.
