One of the big files to be managed by the DG of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, is that of Cole Caufield. The latter is finishing his NHL entry-level contract, and he will have to get a new deal for the next season. In connection with this file, according to what he said on the podcast of Mike Johnson and Pierre LeBrun, the negotiations are positive between the management of the Canadiens and Pat Brisson, the agent of Cole Caufield. So there is progress in the talks between the two parties. However, there still seems to be some details to negotiate, because otherwise, the deal would already be done. On the other hand, Hughes revealed what everyone wanted to hear, that the young star of the Canadiens wanted to stay in Montreal. <q>Cole wants to be a member of the Montreal Canadiens and we want to have him. We're working on that. - Kent Hughes</q> We'll have to remain patient, as all indications are that Hughes has some criteria he wants to meet in the No. 22 contract, and for his part, Brisson is obviously looking to get the biggest deal possible for the maverick. Let's just hope that for the future good of the organization, the deal is long term for seven or eight years. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/GotYerBackPod/status/1638193842536210432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1638193842536210432%7Ctwgr%5E21fde05019db4d46b9a9db63980bfe93e3acf43f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.danslescoulisses.com%2Fcontrat-de-cole-caufield-les-conversations-sont-positives-affirme-kent-hughes%2F'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.danslescoulisses.com/contrat-de-cole-caufield-les-conversations-sont-positives-affirme-kent-hughes/?fbclid=IwAR3-NVTF1L3_Cd8mPyzrO8pxndA4Smo1txEDTN87mND18dD1pVyA8rhT1iM' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>InTheCoulisses.com</a>
