The Montreal Canadiens drafted a terrific goal scorer when they nabbed Cole Caufield with the 15th overall selection at the 2019 NHL Draft. It was a surprise that he would still be available that late in the draft after he scored 101 goals in 92 games for the United States National Under-18 team.
He clearly showed he was the best goal scoring threat in the entire draft, but he is short, so lots of old school general managers decided not to draft him. That was just fine with Marc Bergevin who was excited to add Caufield to the Habs prospect pool with a pick in the middle of the first round.
