Breaking: The Canadiens have officially announced the signing of Cole Caufield

Cole Caufield signs an 8-season contract extension!

He will be in Montreal for a very long time, and we love it! The information from Tony Marinaro is confirmed. Caufield will earn slightly less than Captain Nick Suzuki, and our prediction is confirmed.

8 years / $7.85 million per season for Cole!

It's a superb contract.

Caufield, 22 years old, scored 36 points (26 goals) in 46 games this season with the Montreal Canadiens. He was set to become a restricted free agent.
