2019 NHL Draft: If Cole Caufield is there for the Penguins, he’d make a great choice

Yesterday we took a general 2019 NHL draft preview of some first round prospects. Today will be a deeper dive into probably the most intriguing non-top 5 pick, forward Cole Caufield.

The Athletic’s guru Corey Pronman adds his scouting report back at mid-year, ranking Caufield #19.

19 Cole Caufield, RW, USNTDP-USHL

Caufield is known for one thing: scoring goals. He’s one of the best American snipers to ever come through the USNTDP. His shot is not only incredibly quick but very accurate.
