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

[dinodebino]

I was just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.

GREAT reply.

This is based off of nothing but I’ll admit, I’m materially concerned that Caufield being an American is signalling toward some sort of hesitation about signing an 8+ year contract in Montreal. Yes, his dad is Canadian, but I hope this gets done sooner than later and I’d be very disappointed to see some sort of 4~ year contract signed.

Best term for both sides is 6 years. Then at 27, they can negotiate another contract for any term as the highest would only take him to 34. Or if at 27, Habs want to part, well they got good term out of him and he gets to hit on a big payday. I'm thinking the AAV will be somewhere between 6-7M as the cap is predicted to go up sooner rather than later

Drafted him in fantasy maybe 3 rounds too early.

Didn't care. Lol
He's going to score 35 with his eyes closed.

I hope your league doesn't count +/-

in all seriousness, Caufield is a great fantasy pick this year I really think he can score 40+ as soon as this year. Best goal scorer we have had in quite some time that's for sure

I'm in a pool with almost all leaf fans and got him in the 15th round of the draft.

My pool is mostly Habs fans so I took 0 chances lol

Ahhh you just worry about Laine's +/- mr. COMMISH

Caufield's agent is Pat Brisson. So it wouldn't surprise me if Pat is the one a little on the patient side feeling confident Caufield will have a break out season and drive up his contract value.

Probably makes sense for both parties as the habs have cap weirdness short term and he will get 1st line and pp galore until he signs.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Caufield is elite scorer, elite playmaker, elite at skating and elite at hands. This guy is elite.

Generational height too

 

[sandviper]

Chose the right night to rock this.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

his shot release is for real that 2nd goal over the shoulder of Murray was amazing

 

[CauZuki]

Goal Caufield , scoring goals??? Since when!

 

[Garbageyuk]

On pace for 164+ goals this season, just wanted to point that out.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

40 goal season loading….

 

[BehindTheTimes]

He’s getting 50 this year.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

This mf gonna win the Rocket

 

[McGuires Corndog]

He’s getting 50 this year.

Before pre-season I was thinking of 40ish to be his ceiling this season, having seen him every pre-season game and tonight… He looks a lot faster and willing to engage.

50 is definitely within the realm of possibility.

 

[sbhatt]

He's good for 40+ this season.

 

[sandviper]

50? Are you all blind? He scored two. Anything less than 160 would be a massive dissappointment.

 

[Miller Time]

Hughes better get that contract signed asap... if he waits all year, CC is going to ride a rocket right into Molson's piggy bank

 

[Milhouse40]

Since MSL is here....the guy just can't stop scoring goals.
Huge season coming.....huge contract also coming.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I called 72 Gs. 70 more to go.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I called 72 Gs. 70 more to go.

If he scores 72 I’ll streak down St-Catherine’s street

 

[Seb]

Give him the damn money right now!

 

[JoelWarlord]

All you cowards that said 30+ lmaoooooo

 

[dkd]

On pace for 164 goals this season

Not worried. He is not Gaudreau or Tkachuk. Montreal is a much better city than Calgary (I live here).
