Player Discussion Cole Caufield: The little man with the big future.

[Habs Halifax]

J McCann and Caufield are two guys who are in the top 10 in NHL scoring but have the min/game some of the others have. They both are also scoring at a high level at 5/5 as well.

Top guys at 5/5 are McCann, Hughes, Pastrnak, Caufield, Thompson, Crosby, Horvat, Robertson. If the Habs had a better PP, Caufield would be right up there for the Rocket. He's close now but would be closer.

Caufield has 48 goals in his last 81 games with MSL. Getting 50 this season will be tough but he's on pace to make it interesting.

What does this warrant for a contract?
* 0.88 pts/game with 48 goals over his last 81 games
* 0.82 pts/game with 26 goals this season (44 games)

Basically 70 pts and 45+ goal pace. That is very close to J Norris's production before he got his 8x $7.95M contact.

Boldy just got a 7x7 considering other comparable like Norris I think getting CC at 7.875 may be doable now he'll even if it's 8 it thats fine by me.

Came to say the same. If Boldy got 7, Cole gets around 8 IMO. Could even argue for more. Would love if he signed the Suzuki contract.

I think Suzuki contract would be ideal.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I'd definitely start throwing 7 x 7/ 8 x 8 at Caufield right now, see if he bites. He'll probably want a bit more AAV but it's a good starting point.

Aboslutely! Hopefully Cole and his agent agree!

 

[Le Tricolore]

If Caufield signs 8x8 or so, I'd be thrilled. I think that would be a steal.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

agree 8x8 would be a great contract for both sides

 

[Vachon23]

Matt Boldy contract is a good news for us, he will be a good comparable.

If we take Boldy and Suzuki contract, I would offer him 8x7.5m

 

[LaP]

If Caufield signs 8x8 or so, I'd be thrilled. I think that would be a steal.

I think we should sign him to a prove me what you got 2 years bridge contract like we did with Subban

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Give this man his bag

 

[McGuires Corndog]

He’ll come in around the Suzuki contract, I don’t see him costing more than 8.5m.

He’s the most dynamic player we’ve had since Subban and the most dynamic forward since Kovalev.

 

[Redux91]

If Caufield signs 8x8 or so, I'd be thrilled. I think that would be a steal.

8x8 is the DREAM
Really hope they're discussing it now
To have him at 8M until he's 30 and we'd be laughing

Idk boys I think Caufield camp will try to get paid. Why wouldn't he?

American born players are scarier than good old canuck boys who play for the logo on the front not the name on the back

I mean caufield is a team player but its really going to be up to his agent and family/people close to him.

Cole might win the lady byng this year.

He has zero penalty minutes

 

[Le Tricolore]

Cole might win the lady byng this year.

He has zero penalty minutes

We play Boston and Toronto in the next week or so. He'll get fighting majors for beating up Matthews and Marchand.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Cole might win the lady byng this year.

He has zero penalty minutes

Jack Hughes probably wins it. Producing at a 100+ pt pace and only has 2 penalty minutes

 

[Mrb1p]

Why did RDS not allow him to score points again more teams ? Im asking the real questions.

 

[SlafySZN]

Jack Hughes probably wins it. Producing at a 100+ pt pace and only has 2 penalty minutes

Possibly. Cole will be in the talk, though.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

IF Caufield gets 40+ goals, offer him a 2 year $5.75M deal (AAV $2.875M).

If he continues show respeck and improve over those two years, low-ball him again and bring him to arbitration.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Possibly. Cole will be in the talk, though.

maybe, but does anyone even care about the Lady Byng?

 

[BenchBrawl]

maybe, but does anyone even care about the Lady Byng?

It used to be more prestigious, in the days when Frank Boucher was winning it every year and perhaps in O6.

 

[cphabs]

And he's allowed to be himself!

?

The agents..............tend to just crucify the Canadian teams..............

I see what you did there................lol
