Quinn hasnt proved anything yet, but once again i trust benning and brackett. Quinn isnt 5’6? either. If they have the opportunity, and take caufield, then i trust their judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not much bigger and it's the dmen that get a much rougher ride in the playoffs than fwds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Can anyone comment on how cozens played in this tournament? Not a lot of points but ok by the sounds of it Krebs and Newhook were Canada’s best players broberg- another goal today he seems like the best d man in the tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as people like to defend him for certain reasons you just can't make up enough excuses for his lack of production. If he was so offensively talented he would've shown it in production, either at the MHL, VHL or u18 level and I just don't see it. Yes he had a few good tournaments but that's about it. Combined with the always present 'russian' factor and I can see a scenario where he falls out of the top 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGokou Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 1 hour ago, MystifyNCrucify said: Yeah i know. He probably will be a great player. Or he might not. “As far as i can tell” is a pretty big statement for a small player. In the end i trust benning and brackett to make a good choice, if not the “best” choice at ten. Its just so much harder to predict if a small player will rise above the punishment. Hockey gnome hasnt done anything in the playoffs, and thats really the end game. Playoffs and stanley cup. Thats it. Taking a look at his scoring this season agains NCAA opponents he had 14 goals and 5 assists in 17 games which is good for 1.12 ppg. What's interesting is that he was held off the scoresheet for the first few games of the season before he picked it up later on as the season went on. I'm guessing there was a learning curve that Caufield had to take against bigger opponents. What I'm unsure about is if he was drafted by us and we got to the playoffs, would he be rubbed out by bigger competition once things got more physical and the interference starts happening at regular intervals. As you can tell from my post I am completely lost on how to evaluate such a player. I think he will be really good regular season contributor and 'maybe' an effective playoff contributor? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d really like to see just how feisty Caufield is. Quinn Hughes had shown a very feisty side to his personality before we drafted him. Caufield has yet to show that side. I wonder if the league he plays in ,and how it’s structured, keeps us from seeing Caufield from playing when it’s tough out there. He did score the only two USA goals today in his team’s loss in the u 18 semi final to Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyman109 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Any love for Arthur Kaliyev 6'2 LW 188 lbs had 102 points 51 goals and 51 assists in OHL this season?? anyone know more about this player?

Canuck Surfer Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Woah, this Alexander Holtz, who scored twice? Already played SHL games. 2020 draft eligible. Tip and a nice shot for his goals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
