What's up with Cole Caufield?

[BLONG7]

That kid is a straight up killer, superbly skilled

Going to get better as he moves forward.....

 

[JustAHabFan]

He is back to the Caufield of last season. If he had Suzuki/Anderson as linemates and played under MSL the whole year, he probably would be contender for the Calder.

You have to wonder where the team would be if they made the coaching change a month into the season. That musclehead really laid an egg. Now the Kings can enjoy his jocularity.

I have the strong urge to like all those posts from leafs fans at the start of this thread but I must not be petty

Little stud, big stud? All just studs to me

I’ll do it for you. Everyone already knows I’m petty.

Pretty funny reading the earlier posts. Where are those posters now?

 

[Captain97]

Is his deployment different, i.e. on his off-wing? I can see that making a difference.

He is on his off wing yes but is also with better players again. For a while he was with Pezzetta and Paquette on our 4th line. And was often not inposition to take 1 timers on the PP

This is the same place that had people declaring Ovechkin to be done as an elite player 10 years ago.

I love Cole Caufield.

I also miss Marc Bergevin, still do. Sucks he became a King.

 

[Guess]

Caufield needs to improve his reads, get better at puck battles and after that he'll likely have a massive breakout

(a lot of the time he coasts and cherry picks for breakaways, learning the game and being a better 200ft player will give him lots more opportunities)

the before and after of this thread is hilarious. Alot of you need to start taking a deep-ass breath before posting stuff.

Uh yeah I’ll pass on taking a breath of deep ass, thanks.

He's averaging half a point a game - let's not go putting him in the HOF already.

About as accurate as labelling him a bust, like the majority of posters were saying, before say February 17th or so...

Change "a lot" to "most" and you are spot on.

 

[Koivu11]

He’s fine.

[The Flying Octopus]

Nothing. He plays in Montreal.

 

[Gravity]

Ducharme was the worst thing to happen to this kid. I think he wins the Calder if not for Ducharme.

 

[LeafGrief]

Goals were filthy. Gotta love a two point shift!

Including MSL's first three games where they were sorta getting their bearings, they've played at a 95 point pace. A 95 point pace that's still not been the planned opening night lineup. Still, that's a bubble pace likely. So, not anywhere near as bad as they were but not good enough.

The biggest thing is that's 95 point pace without Allen for most of it and Price for all of it. We've been using our AHL goalies. Absolutely maddening.

Oh totally. That's what I mean about playing the whole season from day one without every having iced the intended lineup even once. Montembault has been a pleasant surprise, but he's no Allen who's no Price.
