“I’m going to say it. Cole Caufield! It’s not that I don’t like him, he’s just not my type of player.
If you take away Nick Suzuki, he doesn’t drive the first line. If you take Nick Suzuki away from Cole Caufield, nothing happens anymore.
Cole Caufield is not the locomotive, he’s a wagon. And sometimes, even often, he’s a burden for Nick Suzuki.
Put Nick Suzuki with Boldy, Suzuki would have an even better line than he has right now with Cole Caufield. When Cole Caufield plays well, I say it, but too often he only plays one way and just tries to put the puck in the net.
He’s a 40 to 50-goal scorer who has never scored 30 goals. You defend him like no one else.”
