If there are untouchables in Montreal, Caufield is not one of them (according to Maxime Lapierre)

But lately people have been talking about Caulfield's season as he only scored 24 goals.

It's not “much” because it's usually expected to be more productive with respect to goals.

Caufield finds himself – despite himself – at the heart of several criticisms at the moment. Simon Boisvert wonders if the Habs went too fast on his contract, as …

And Maxime Lapierre (The Sick Podcast) doesn't believe #22 would be untouched if Kent Hughes wanted to make a big deal.

The former Canadiens player believes that the only players who cannot be traded in Montreal are Nick Suzuki, Juraj Slafkowski and Kaiden Goulet:

He is halfway to 50 goals this season, can we wait until he reaches 40 goals before we can call him a 50 goal scorer? He's not an 18-year-old fresh out of training camp… he's played in the NHL and is turning 24. – Maxime Lapierre

Maxime Lapierre believes Cole Caufield could be a touchable

Is it just me or…

Are we really worried about a guy who scored 60 points this season but is having a “disappointing” season in terms of goals scored?

It's true that we expect Cole to score.

It's true that he's a little one-dimensional on the ice because if he's not productive, he's irrelevant in Martin St. Louis' lineup, but we can't expect him to put up 50 points a year. .

Craig Button believes Slough is capable of the feat…

But maybe we should lower our expectations for Cole Caulfield. I don't mean that in a bad way, because Cole is effective even if he doesn't score as many goals as we would like.

Briefly

– Speaking of Cole.

– Absolutely.

– Absolutely!

– Illness.
