Cole Caufield's next contract: shocking information from Darren Dreger
It's been said for some time, Kent Hughes' most important issue this summer is getting Cole Caufield to sign a long-term contract extension. Not two or three years, he needs to work out an eight-year deal with the forward.
Unfortunately, this issue is taking much longer than we expected and according to whistleblower Darren Dreger, the reason is that his agent (Caufield) is too greedy.

Many supporters are calling for Kent Hughes to pull out the checkbook. Caufield is the best goal scorer the Tricolor has had in nearly 30 years. A contract similar to Tim Stutzle's would be the base at 8.35 million per year for eight years.
Is the Habs general manager trying to get the price down? Is he waiting to make sure that Caufield's recovery from shoulder surgery is more advanced? We don't know, but one thing is for sure, we are 100% confident that Kent Hughes will do what it takes to keep his star forward for a long time.
