How many goals will Cole Caufield score this season?

[SlafySZN]

@Lafleurs Guy was in these threads constantly last year bringing up the shooting percentage and he was right. People needed to relax. His shooting percentage was way off last season and it was never going to stay like that.

Exactly.

Some people never learn.

I like caufield but I'd take msl over him in a heartbeat.

MSL is 49, I'll stick with Caufield.

Yes. But I’m too hungover to change the category as I have to get my laptop to do that. I’ll update it later unless another mod beats me to it.

Come on now, where are your functioning alcoholic skills when you need them?

He's been really good this year. Better agility, better passing and he's even forechecking. A steal at 15.

Well he's entering his prime. A player entering his prime will usually do better

 

[1909]

He is on his way to 40-45 goals, which is already awesome. His overall play is better too.

Cole Caufield: Scored in 4th consecutive games

 

[Habs Halifax]

Caufield goal scoring seasons as follows...
* 23/67
* 26/46
* 28/82
* 22/40 (so far)

103 goals in 245 NHL games so far (0.42/game). Prorates to 35 goals / 82 games. I think his career average ends up around 35/season. He's surely going to have some 40+ seasons to come but hard to imagine he does that season after season.

 

[dauv]

here is my formula

42 games left
avg 9 shifts per period * 3 periods * 42 game = 1,134 shifts left
.2 shots per shift = 1,134 * 0.2 = 227 shots left
scoring at a rate of .12 per shot = 227 * 0.12 = 27 goals left
27 goals left + 22 goals already = 49 Goals
49 goals - 6% bad games = 46 goals
46 goals - Laine's PP Spot Ice Time 5% = 43 - 44 Goals to end the year

This is a scientific fact.

I don’t think it’s hard to imagine consistent 40 goal seasons from him. I was hoping for consistent50 goal years but that’s a really tall order.

I think he might have a few 40+ and even a 50+ mix of goal seasons but at the end of the day when his career is done, I bet you his average is around 35-40.

In his prime, I expect consistent 40 goal years. We’ll see if my expectations are too high. I still think he can generate 50 goal years. I might be overshooting on that though - no pun intended.
