from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Cole Caufield sounds like Filip Zadina and works like Dylan Larkin.
As the Detroit Red Wings handicap who to choose with their first selection in the 2019 draft, Caufield stands out for how he could potentially boost the rebuild. He has spent so much time doing wrist curls and other upper body workouts that shooting the puck has become a muscle memory.
Think that’s an exaggeration? Caufield scored 72 goals last season for the U.S. National Team Development Program, earning a spot as the eighth-ranked North American skater on the NHL Central Scouting final prospect rankings.
