Nashville:Forsberg

so
caufield = forsberg
fleury = compensation for taking byron
byron = cap dump?
i can see that.

The only player of value is Caufield, and Fleury doesn’t have much value I’d assume. Byron was waived and nobody took him. going to have to offer something better, and a 1st would most likely be involved

@pkane88 Caufield does not = Forsberg alone
03 Mar 2021 13:23:07
If that’s the ask for Forsberg, 10 teams would top it.
Caufield, Robertson,
Byron, Kerfoot (better player, hasn’t been waived but needed to go for money)
Fleury, Liljegren
I think there’s other teams that are closer to contending than Habs and have better assets to offer than Leafs that would top either of these offers.

Lol Caufield is not a good prospect. Guhle is a much better prospect in the habs organization.
03 Mar 2021 19:52:16
If Caufield was a Leafs prospect he would be at the top and it’s not even clost. So I guess Amirov and Sandin are not good prospect as well?
03 Mar 2021 20:31:58
Caufield would be the leafs 5th best prospect 1. Robertson 2. Sandin 3. Lilijgren 4. Amirov 5. Caufield
Kaiden Guhle is a really good prospect and will be a top 4 dman he is Montreal’s best prospect and Kaiden Guhle was selected after Amirov. Caufield is 5 foot 8 and any player who is that size and doesn’t absolutely dominate in juniors ( yes he was a product of playing with Jack Hughes and his size/ weak skating haven’t been shown as a huge issue in college but it’ll start to show once he makes it to the ECHL. ) he looked absolutely awful in the world juniors. A huge liability. Literally every player on team Canada was better.
@Sosahabs you’re a reasonable Habs fan do you disagree?

Im not sold on Caufield, I am also not ready to say he won't make it. I don't see him being a 40 goal man in the NHL., I really don't know what to think of Caufield atm. I wasn't impressed of his play at Workd Jrs. However ya can't judge just on that alone. I don't get to follow him, so I don't know enough to form much of an opinion about his future . In also not a very good judge of Junior talent either. I once thought Virtanen was the next Neely lol.

Virtanen was selected 6th overall for a reason Caufield “fell†to Montreal for a reason. How many players can score a 70 goal season and not go top 5 obviously he had potential and still does but a lot of scouts weren’t confident in his ability to transfer his skills to the NHL and they are right.
