On this Tuesday, as we reported in the last few minutes, the Buffalo Sabres announced that they have signed their young forward Dylan Cozens. The contract extension is for seven seasons and is worth $7.1 million annually.
Cozens, 21, drafted in 2019 (like Caufield) is a seventh overall pick who has a very solid 43 points in 49 games this season, including 17 goals.
Caufield, who just turned 22, has 36 points in 46 games this season, including 26 goals.
File to follow, but this will definitely have a direct impact on Caufield's next contract. Plus, we're talking about a player drafted the same year as the Habs' #22 forward, and who has similar production.
