So weird he only has one assist. He’s made some really nice passes. It like Hutson with no goals - just can’t believe it.

Well you said his shooting percentage couldn’t stay low like last year but did you think he would start the season shooting 100%? Lol

It’s crazy man.

Caufield is one of the rare bright spots in this line up with Suzuki and Hutson.

Maybe we will have the « Rocket Richard » trophy playing on a bottom feeding team ?

I think he’ll always be streaky, but as long as his highs stay what they are he will be a great goalscorer.

I’m not so sure about the streaky part. He was really consistent in that 82 game stretch. Last year was a bit of an anomaly because of the shoulder but I think he’ll be a pretty consistent scorer.

That being said, he’s on a crazy heater right now and I don’t see him finishing with 82 goals.

I don’t know why this is his nickname, and I don’t wanna know, but it’s hilarious

I hope he doesn't get injured, so he can finally get to that 40-goal mark.

I’ll wait and see but this is his pedigree. It always was. His draft day comparable was Messi.

People kind of edged off goal scoring prediction totals to be safe. And I get it somewhat: he’s super tiny.

But I think that was the wrong tack. His size (and skating at the time) would prevent him from BEING an NHLer period.
BUT if he made it and didn’t get killed, he was always gonna score a shit ton of goals.

There’s still some debate about his overall effectiveness which is fine. But I don’t think anyone thinks he’s not an NHLer. With that out of the way, he likely becomes one of the better goal scorers of his generation.
Just about everything points to that.

The best reason to doubt Caufield is that he’s a Hab. That will always be the biggest obstacle because of this bizarre curse. But that’s the only valid reason I can see him not being an elite sniper in this league

If only he could have a good one timer and use that the PP i think he could put up 50 goals and maybe 70 pts. He will probably reach that number once hes on a 2nd line not facing top pair D night after night. Yesterday Hutson feeded him like 2x on the 5v3 and he couldnt manage to hit the net, missed puck once also. He's gotta bring up his efficiency on the one T
