Freshly fired by the CH, Marc Dumont asks the Habs to announce Cole Caufield's new contract

It's a story that has caused a lot of reaction, especially because of the special circumstances surrounding the firing.

In short, as my colleague Keven Mawn of Fanadiens.com points out, immediately after announcing his departure from the Tricolore organization, Dumont revealed one of his first wishes.

We imagine this is news he was eager to cover and announce to fans, and it's his first request as a "mere fan" of the Habs.

As he mentions himself, he remains a Montreal Canadiens fan and loves the fans.

He was obviously anxious to announce Cole Caufield's contract extension, which should become official relatively soon. At least if Cole does what Nick Suzuki did, signing an 8-year contract on October 12, 2021.

This is a file that we are watching closely, between now and the start of the 2022 season.
