Dreger noted that the conversation started around a month ago.Ĭoming out of college to join the team at the end of the 2020-21 season, Caufield is now in the third and final season of his entry-level contract. TSN’s Darren Dreger said on Tuesday’s edition of “Insider Trading” that the Canadiens have had preliminary extension talks with Caufield’s agent, Pat Brisson. Now, the team is lining up to sign one of its most crucial contracts for the next few seasons. His 26 goals lead the team by a mile, and his 36 points are just one behind linemate Nick Suzuki.
With coaching uncertainty and an improved locker room vibe, though, Caufield has excelled in his sophomore season.

Jan 18: General manager Kent Hughes added some more fuel to the Caufield rumor mill today, telling reporters at Canadiens practice that the team is interested in signing Caufield to a longer-term extension.
