Huge surprise regarding Cole Caufield and a major statement about his production
Last year, the production of Nick Suzuki, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Cole Caufield was quite impressive, with them recording 77, 50, and 65 points respectively.
Playing all 82 games really helped them, and the predictions for their next season are equally interesting.
No one will be surprised to see that the captain is projected to be the team's top scorer, with 81 points.
Juraj Slafkovsky is expected to hit 67 points, and Cole Caufield 75 points. These are fantastic predictions, and I believe they are truly achievable.
For Cole Caufield, the projections place him in the top 10 goal scorers in the NHL. We know he has the potential, but that's still quite a statement!
The most striking detail about these projections is that they were made before the acquisition of Patrik Laine. Kirby Dach was projected for a 40-point season, but that could significantly increase if he plays alongside the Finnish star.
One thing is certain: the Canadiens' power play will have a whole new look this year, and it will be even better starting in the 2025-26 season when Ivan Demidov joins the team.
