Cole Caufield may be the best pure goal scorer in this year’s draft class. His stock has been rising as of late and the Blackhawks may have penciled his name onto their draft board. There are a couple of different ways Cole Caufield could find himself in a Blackhawks sweater.
Option #1: StanBo & Co. can draft Caufield 3rd overall, which may be a bit of a reach considering the other talent in the draft. Although, I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to it. Alex DeBrincat has worked out pretty well.
Option #2: Trade down, draft Cole Caufield, and gain other assets in the process such as additional draft picks or players.
