Major statement on Cole Caufield's next contract

Cole Caufield is a natural scorer, as we all know. No matter what league he has played in during his career, he has always filled the opposing net with consistency. The forward is now waiting to sign his next contract and according to Curve Ball, he would be crazy to sign before the draft lottery.

Let's say Caufield's next contract is for eight years and $8 million a year. Imagine if the Tricolore won the lottery and Connor Bedard joined the team next year. The consensus is that number 22 would be scoring goals, and he would be one of the best in the league, without a doubt.

It would be 100% logical that Caufield would wait a little longer before getting along with the Habs and we would understand him very well.
