How do you figure CC > Robertson

Well most reports I've read have/had Caufield as a better prospect during the year. Despite Robertston being signed and likely being in the NHL next season (while Caufield will remain in the NCAA for another year), I wouldn't trade Caufield 1 for 1 for Robertson.

They are both young, skilled player, but I think Caufield has the best chance of being a star in the NHL with his goal scoring abilities being off the charts.

But it's not like I know how the future will turn out.

It'll depend on the # of years.

Chabot 8 x 8
or
Provorov 5 x 6.75
or
McAvoy/Werenski 3 x 5'ish

Lightning are short on Cap space so I could see them needing/wanting to go short term unless they're prepared to knock a lot of veterans off the books.

Sergachev is a prime candidate for an offer sheet. Bergevin can ask forgiveness for trading him for a steaming pantload, and sign him

Habs offersheeting Sergachev would be glorious.

Given what Robertson did this year, I have no idea how that conclusion makes sense, even if you believe NCAA > Juniors

yeah, maybe look at what Robertson did this year compared to some all time greats in Juniors.

I know there is no guarantee that that carries into the NHL, but I don't see any justification for CC > Robertson at this point.

clearly Ilhan Omar was helping with the Hedman votes

Nylander + Liljegren + 15th overall to Wpg por Laine.

Laine is a different kind of floater, and is a likeable guy.
He'd become a fan's favorite soon in Toronto

They are both skilled goal scorers, Robertson was the one with the better year in 2019-20 though - 55 goals in 46 games for the Petes, while Caulfield had 19 goals in 36 games for the University of Wisconsin. Maybe the prospect reports you read were written by McCagg and approved by Komi-sore-ass

It's very hard to compare NCAA and Juniors season. They are completely different leagues.

Robertson's numbers are impressive, no doubt about it. But Caufield is also in a league of his own after scoring 72 goals in 18-19 and being a finalist for rookie of the year in the NCAA.

And again, it's very hard to compare as I haven't seen either player play all that much... so I'm just following the reports from the "experts" while agreeing they both look like very promising young players.

Reports came from prospect rankings, updated during the season by The Athletic.

Don't try and make this as clear cut as you'd like.

Good for you if you like Robertson better, I'd rather have CC still.

So Caulfield went from 72 to 19 goals?

72 goals was with the under 18 us program. Not the NCAA.

72 goals in the NCAA would be god damn scary.


Edit: As a comparison, he scored more goals than Matthews did in the same program. And I'm not saying he'll be better than Matthews.

Meh.

There are better options as #2 centre. I think he's an ok 2nd line centre but he also needs responsible wingers to play with him.

But he proved he can catch fire for a season, maybe he brings it back, who knows?
- Scabeh

I think he's a good 3C who has shown he is capable of putting up 2C numbers... but, as you said, can he bring it back to that level?

Hard to tell with Domi - he has a good set of skills but I'm just not convinced he's got what it takes to be a 60-70pts kinda guy.

He's one of those real question mark players.

impressive

both of them are going to have to overcome the size question.

I am hoping Robertson turns into a Gallagher type.

I called that a team would win the Cup if they actually played. Another mark in my book.

Gotta go to bat for the enemy here.

Caulfield, on the reports I've seen (TSN and THN and HockeyWriters), is always a little bit higher than Robertson.

Just like Sandin was most often ahead of Romanov (except on McCagg's).

Robertson certainly looked better during the WJC. Caufield is also somehow tinier than Nick.

Caufield had a great year in the big 10. playing on a last place team and leading them in goals and points as an 18 year old. Its a very impressive year. Its an older league than the O too. playing mostly against guys in their twenties, its a good league.

All this time off, I would think he's added some strength to that frame. He will be a player and I think it's way too early to say Robertson has passed him. Both were great picks and possibly big steals at their draft positions.

That's what I've read as well. On both accounts.
- Scabeh

Yup, that being said CC drafted at 15 and NR at 53. Credit to KD for digging him up that late.
