Cole Caufield’s Agent Confirms Big Rumor Circulating About Two Canadiens Stars <\/p>\n

The arrival of Kent Hughes with the Montreal Canadiens in February 2022 completely changed the hockey culture within the organization.<\/p>\n

It is well known that in the past, many free agents and established NHL players avoided the Montreal market at all costs, but things are now truly starting to change.<\/p>\n

We suspected it-it was a rumor circulating for a while-but his agent has now confirmed it.<\/p>\n

Cole Caufield’s agent confirms he left money on the table to sign long-term with the Montreal Canadiens<\/p>\n

“Caufield felt it was important for him not to make more money than his captain.<\/p>\n

And Slaf thought the same way when signing his eight-year deal in July 2024.<\/p>\n

But even by taking less money, it also indicates one thing: both forwards were comfortable signing a multi-year deal in Montreal because they want to play for the Canadiens.” – DLC<\/p>\n

“Noah Dobson really wanted to play in Montreal.<\/p>\n

The proof: he was ready to accept less money to make the trade happen.” – Kevin Dub\u00e9<\/p>\n

We can reasonably imagine that things would have been very different under the former management, led by ex-general manager Marc Bergevin.<\/p>\n

We can now ask the question: will the decisions made by Slafkovsky and Caufield have an impact on Lane Hutson<\/a>‘s next contract?<\/p>\n
