He is, by the definition, the purest of the pure - a game-breaking goal-scorer that has impeccable speed and agility, the power to create space for himself and his teammates, a rocket of a shot and the vision to flourish in a creative, offensive system.
In other words, he has all the tools off the wing.
And he relishes the role of a lamp-lighter like no other in the draft class.
"That's the best asset in my game - scoring," said Caufield, the No. 8-ranked North American skater. "The goalies are only going to get better from here, so you've got to keep working on it and I think it's always come natural to me. I'm always going to keep working at it and it's something I want to be really special at.
"You'll regret it if you don't [draft me]."
So why, then, with this kind of elite marksmanship, is Caufield not earning press as a possible No. 1 pick like his talented teammate, Hughes?
Standing at 5-foot-7 and weighing in at 163 lbs., he's the biggest guy out there - nor has he been tested against more physically mature players, like Finnish phenom Kaapo Kakko, who spent the entirety of the 2018-19 season honing his craft against men.
