Cole Caufield was not a good draft pick in 2019 according to analyst
According to host Martin Lemay, from RDS, Cole Caufield was a bad choice for the Montreal Canadiens.
It's sad to read, but that's really what was suggested.
Here is an excerpt from my colleague William Boivin on this matter.
We completely disagree with this.
As Martin St-Louis has repeated and emphasized, even if Caufield is scoring less at the moment, he has greatly improved as a more complete NHL player.
In the playoffs (soon, we hope), this will be major for the team.
Even if number 22 has only scored four goals in his last 25 games, he finds other ways to contribute and progress. (so imagine how excellent he will be when he starts to fill the opposing net again)
Let's not forget he is only 23 years old and he still scored 26 goals in 46 games last season!
Let's not forget he has more than tripled his number of assists!
And above all, let's not forget that Martin St-Louis is absolutely not worried about his young sharpshooter:
Lemay even goes as far as to say that Caufield was not a good draft pick for the Canadiens. He was chosen 15th overall by the Habs in 2019."
