Quoting: habitantlecolon
I'm gauging how people value Caufield around the league compared to what I read here sometimes. I want to see how a Caufield deal could happen or surprise us if it were ever to happen. It's not against the player nor for a deal, just pure curiosity. So far I've tried B.Tkachuk, Will Smith, Dvorsky, and on another kind of proposal a trade jump between 1st overall and Anaheim 1st + McTavish. Since the point system is still not doing it on CF I'm trying to understand how human bias works in the AGM mode. This helps me to be closer to other's acknowledged values and perspectives.
Caufields value is still unmeasured by most peoples types of Evaluations
He's had some set backs after entering the league as high as you could get being a top 3 scorer on a SCF push before your even eligible to be a Rookie.
Injuries set him back. Now the Coach is trying to catch him up by forcing him to be more then a 1 dimensional goal scorer.
This time next year people will be begging to acquire him for high prices as i predict he'll have his break out season hitting 30 or 40 goals
He's put in the work, he's not just your typical Offense only scorer and like Suzuki it might take until his 4th year to show the results of your investment.
For this Group they have little faith in what they cant see today.
Even less faith in MTL cause of how our development was 2009-2019 really
But the thing is since then most of our guys have overperformed
Even depth guys did well enough for a Kulak to become a Hutson
But if you asked anyone on here if that was possible they'd say no until it happened
Then they'd claim it was super obvious the whole time lol
There's about 30-40 practical people on here that base their evaluations of trades similar to it that happened in real life.
They're often the most grounded and easiest to debate with and find the true value of a player in the leagues eyes even if they dont want him.
I'd tag some in but they dont seem to like that lol
I can say Old NYI Fan is pretty good and he doesnt mind people asking questions as much as others
You just gotta be willing to listen in your guys debate so you both can learn and he's pretty cool
IMO right now Caufield can get you a 1st and a really good young player like A or A+ grade quality
More if you took a A- or B+ like a Holloway type but i think it would be more about quantity then quality at that point
Not really a big enough return to bother when if we wait we know it'll be more
