In line with their proclivity for locking in young talents on long-term contracts, the Montreal Canadiens seem to be inching closer to offering a seven or eight-year contract to Caufield, their star shooter.
Following his 26-goal sophomore campaign, Caufield has emerged as arguably the most dynamic Habs forward in the last twenty years. Given his stellar performance, it was widely anticipated that Caufield would command over $8-million. However, the Canadiens have established an internal cap, with the highest salary not exceeding that of their captain Nick Suzuki, who earns $7,875,000.
According to Tony Marinaro, a Caufield extension worth approximately $60-million is just around the corner.
In the light of the salary cap being anticipated to rise by a substantial amount in the upcoming years, this deal could prove to be a real steal.
