#Stanley25 People bullsh*t when they want us to lower our expectations of Caufield and Reinbacher.

Cole Caufield didn’t have the season of his career in 2023-2024. And that’s despite playing better defensively and becoming an excellent passer.
After all, since he’s paid to score goals, let’s hope that in the next few years he’ll be able to find the back of the net more regularly.
I’m with Maxime Truman on this one, for what it’s worth.
But what’s interesting, as reported by Arpon Basu, is the reaction of the main interested party to the possibility of going to represent his country in the coming weeks.

His first response was this, giving us the impression that it’s not his priority.
I’ll keep that in mind. Let’s finish the season here and see. – Cole Caufield
Afterwards, the player was told by the journalists on hand that, in the eyes of US GM Bill Guerin, a player who wants to play in next year’s Four Nations Tournament or the Olympics would be well advised not to say no to the USA this spring.
And then his answer changed. Even Arpon Basu pointed out how quickly he changed his mind in his paper. I think that’s normal.
It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Maybe it’ll be this year. – Cole Caufield
Unlike the last few weeks, when Caufield often missed training sessions, he seems to be healthy at the moment. I have a feeling that if the Americans call, he won’t necessarily say no.
Remember that last year, he wasn’t healthy and didn’t go to represent his country.
