Is Cole Caufield having the season of his life?
Not necessarily, no.
The small forward reached 60 points with an assist during last night's game against the Flyers… but beyond the assists, it's above all his goal totals that we watch because he gets paid so much to score. With 24 successes since the beginning of the season, we can say that he is performing well Somewhat disappointing.
Perhaps expectations were too high as many expected to see him score (at least) 40 goals this season.
However, his 26 goals in 46 games last year helped create said expectations.
Simon Boisvert and Mathias Brunet look back at Season 22 in The last episode of “Operation” Snake wonders if CH rushed the player's contract too quickly.
Cole Caufield is a complementary player in his eyes, even if it is true that the striker is slightly better overall:
He has improved, but in my opinion, he remains a player who does not have much impact outside of scoring goals.
He has long sequences during matches where we don't see him at all. -Simon Boisvert
Cole Caufield has an annual salary of $7.85 million, and the Canadian did not give him his contract because he is handsome and because he is skinny.
We all agree on that.
But we're still talking about a guy who puts a lot of pressure on his shoulders and is in the first year of his contract, which puts even more pressure on him.
After next season we will really be able to take a step back to evaluate the situation because the sample will be larger.
The point is not to compare the careers of the two players, but rather the style because they are both known as scorers…but Alex Ovechkin also had disappointing seasons in terms of goals scored.
For example, Ovi scored (just) 32 goals in his sixth NHL season, after finishing his first five campaigns with 52, 46, 65, 56 and 50 goals…
What I mean by that is that we shouldn't hit the panic button now because bad seasons happen to even the best players.
Let's wait a minute, because no one is complaining about Cole's performance last season before his injury.

Tomorrow, Mike Matheson (59 points) could become the first defenseman in 9 years @CanadiensMTL To reach the mark of 60 points (PK Subban), and before that there was Andrei Markov (64 points) in the 2010-2011 season.

When he is fully physically mature, Florian Cicaj will likely skate around 220 pounds. There aren't many players of his stature in the organization. No wonder we put him under contract. pic.twitter.com/DSZ73XPpPc
