Kent Hughes reveals Canadiens plan with Cole Caufield's next contract

During his important mid-season press briefing, Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes made a very interesting statement regarding the upcoming contract of the club's young star, Cole Caufield.

Hughes made no secret of the fact that he wants to get along with the free agent for the long term and he also added the detail that Cole himself wants to stay in Montreal.

"We want Cole Caufield to stay with us for the long term. And Cole Caufield wants to stay with us [in Montreal]." - Kent Hughes

However, because of his experience as a player's agent and for the sake of negotiations, he doesn't want to go into depth about the contract.

The CH's GM did say, however, that the organization's goal is to get a multi-year deal with number 22.
