It’s not particularly busy in Montreal right now, regarding the Canadiens at least, so much of the talk around town is centered around Cole Caufield. The Canadiens’ prized goal scorer has just finished his entry-level contract and is in need of a new deal for next season. Both parties are working towards a long-term extension, but it doesn’t appear as though the two sides are all that close to an agreement just yet.
Technically speaking, Caufield is an RFA, meaning he’s not in danger of leaving the Canadiens squad unless a team places an offer sheet on him, just like the Carolina Hurricanes did to Jesperi Kotkaniemi a few seasons ago.
