Kent Hughes has done an excellent job since his arrival in Montreal. Not only in terms of transactions, but also in terms of contract signings, like Kirby Dach, for example. One hot file that is certainly burning up the corner of Kent Hughes' desk is the Cole Caufield contract extension. Still to this day, even though he hasn't played in over two months, number 22 is the team's leading scorer with 26 goals. According to Marc-André Perreault of TVA Sports, negotiations between the Canadiens and Caufield are very intense right now and the ultimate goal would be to announce his contract extension before the end of the current campaign. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/thesickpodcasts/status/1641394849382551558?t=tGL0nAIO2oRJaEPUJ-mvkg&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> It would be a great gift for the Canadiens fans to close a difficult year with such great news! Cole Caufield has 26 goals in 46 games on his way to a near 50 goal season. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DLCoulisses/status/1641482221306380289?t=xHUb_J9rlHLuwU24-SbZMA&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div>
