Cole Caufield

Caufield has had a lot of up-and-downs for a player who is still just 23. He struggled mightily during the first half of 2021-22 before finding his game after Martin St. Louis took over as the bench boss. In the end, he finished with 23 goals and 43 points across 67 contests, but the potential to do far better was there in 2022-23. Instead, he was limited to 46 games due to injury, resulting in him supplying 26 goals and 36 points. The 2023-24 was the first time when the Wisconsin native was both healthy and consistent, leading to him setting new career highs with 28 goals and 65 points in 82 outings. That still might not be his best. Most notably, he had a shooting percentage of 8.9 in 2023-24 -- the lowest of his career by a significant margin - and likely suffered from some bad puck luck. As long as Caufield stays healthy, it wouldn't be surprising to see him surpass the 30-goal and 70-point marks for the first time.
