I think you are right, makes me feel like a dumber dummy when I could not predict his picks in the expansion draft and that I thought I would have done better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Caufield on 48.8 goal pace. Just seems like 40+ goals is probable now, i know will have a slump or two but don think he will stop scoring. Dach on 51pt pace, would be an acceptable 1st year with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caufield is just a machine. He's one of those guys where everyone on the ice knows what he's going to do - get below the hashmarks and blast it at the net - but somehow nobody can stop him from getting open. He's like Brett Hull in that regard, i.e., he just seems able to sneak in and evade coverage and BOOM. (Stamkos is similar in that respect too). It helps that he has "Slick Nick" Suzuki dishing him the puck. Again, everyone knows Suze is going to be looking to pass cross-ice to CC, but, again, no one seems able to stop it. We haven't seen elite skill at FW in Montreal in a long time. That's what it looks like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs have not played too many teams that do that, but watching him get trampled on yesterday made me gasp briefly 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan89 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Could be an interesting trade deadline this year. With Bedard being the top prize and a pretty decent draft, team's out of the playoffs could tank instead of going for a playoff spot.

hockeyrealist Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Heard a talking head bring this up and curious as to the response here: Interesting to see Matt Boldy sign 7 year deal (incl 2 yrs of ufa I believe) for aav of $7mil. same draft year as CC, similar ppg rates (CC has played more games), with CC obv being more of a sniper vs Boldy more assists. Wondering how much and a comparable they are to one another? I’d be happy if Habs could sign CC to 7x7 f or sure, even 7x8 unless 8yrsx8mil is an option, the kid’s a legit goal scorer but I’d love to see team not break the bank or pass Suzuki numbers for sake of complimentary pieces… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
