Cole Caufield: Is this the year?

[Habby4Life]

Whatever bro , everybody gets mad when I talk about the 50 goal poll lmao , also 48 in 82 over 2 seasons lol talk about cherry picking . Like seriously what kind of cherry picked stat is that? Just admit the fefans got excited and thought we would have a 50 goal scorer , talk about delusional.

Me , a scholar , would never fall to that type of fefan trap. Can cole score 50 ? Sure probably one day , scoring is going up so maybe , am I gonna go out and say he is just because he plays for my team? Certainly not.

Yeah, some fans need to pull creative stats to justify their hopes of what a player will be.

As far as CC goes, 50, perhaps that talk can occur when he hits the 30 mark just once in a single. All the PG or over X games is nonsense - the numbers are what he has accomplished.

Roy is another story, a guy who done nothing at the NHL level of any significance to warrant being crowned a 2nd line guy or any kind of calder talk. 9 pts in 23 games isn't anything special that can justify that kind of talk. All this talk can begin when he can actually make the team, lol.

Like all fanbases, there are a group that overhype their teams guys, its normal, just a little more extreme with this fan base.

Yeah, nobody cares about stats that are stretched over 2 half seasons. A “40 goal scorer” does it in one season. Have you ever heard anyone reputable discussing an “N goal scorer” using an asterisked time range?

… and if you try to use it as a predictor for 1 season, there’s a good chance you’ll be wrong and then might just make up excuses for the lack of production.

Last season - 28 goals, which was a dip. I’m guessing 35. Give or take, depending on usage.

There’s nothing creative about looking at a player’s last 82 games.

Has nothing to do with him being ‘one of ours’. The numbers are what they are. There was every reason to believe he’d be 40 plus. And he went out and put up 300 plus shots. All the underlying numbers for a 50 goal season were there.

The only thing that stopped him was his shot went bust because of the surgery. This has been proven to you already.

If you’re taking about goals in a season? You’re right. If you’re talking about predictive stats for what a player will do then they’re obviously relevant. How would they not be?

A “40 goal scorer” does it in one season. Have you ever heard anyone reputable discussing an “N goal scorer” using an asterisked time range?

… and if you try to use it as a predictor for 1 season, there’s a good chance you’ll be wrong and then might just make up excuses for the lack of production.

Right… we use past stats to predict the future. Exactly as we did before last season and exactly what you’re doing here.

We revise based on what a player does. His last 82 was a 28 goal year - almost solely because of shots from mid ice. So we have to assume the surgery will still affect him next year.

I agree, 35 is probably a good target.

25g 30 assists. I could see him failing to reach that. Gonna be a lonnnnnng season

He has yet to hit 30, that’s what he has accomplished, that’s the fact. We can talk 50 when he cracks the 30 barrier in one season, lol.

Proven - complete nonsense, thanks but I’ll stick with MSL and CC thoughts over some rando HF guy who knows squat about CCs health etc. Proven, only in your head.

He will be a 40 goal scorer when he does it in a single season, not when some fan picks some time range, just that simple.

Also, projecting him to be a 50 guy is so premature when he hasn’t even hit 30, so that first then we can talk, lol.


Same nonsense with Roy, we can talk he is a suitable 2nd liner when he can actually make the team and do something.

That would be a bad season for him but who knows, everything depends on health. If NS goes down for any stretch this club could get regulated to the AHL.

43 goals and 27 assists. I originally typed 30 goals and 30ish assists but a divine force instructed me to delete it. It isn't my prediction people, it came from somewhere else.
