Episode 83: Is Cole Caufield's Season a Disappointment?

Get PuckD Podcast: A Montreal Canadiens Podcast

In this episode, we discuss...

This season, the Habs have accumulated a lot of points in the standings with their no quit, competitive play. With their most recent victory against the Stanley cup contending Colorado Avalanche. Given where the Habs are at in their rebuild, is it frustrating to see them win VS teams that they "should" lose to? Or are we happy with their compete and progression as a team?

Caufield's game is more well-rounded than it has been in previous seasons. It sems that his more well-rounded style of play is coming at the cost of scoring goals. At the start of the year, projections and expectations were that he would score 40-50 goals. He has not come close to those totals, but his overall game is a lot better, and he is playing at a 65 ppg pace. Were the expectations too high? Is this the best path for him? Is this a disappointing season for him?

Certain members of the media had put out an article with a headline suggesting that Reinbacher is a bust. A bust.... Seriously!? This article came out before his first game with the Laval Rocket and obviously before ever playing an NHL game (training camp excluded). After reading the article, the journalist does not actually state that he is a bust, but that he probably shouldn't have been selected 5th overall and ahead of certain players. We give our thoughts on the article, Reinbacher, his first pro games, and what some scouting pros have said about his game.
