Confirmed with Link: Caufield extended for 8 years ($7.85M AAV)

[417]

Really surprised they were able to get his contract under 8M over 8 years, Caufield clearly was amenable to taking a bit less.

Good for him and the team.

 

[NobleSix]

Tony Marinaro deserves credit with that insider info.

He gets shit on a lot, and many times deservedly so, but you can't deny that he does have his sources.

Credit to him.

 

[Gustave]

Solid deal, in three years when the cap goes haywire, this will be one hell of a steal.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

WHAT A DEAL LETS GOOO!!!
Best part of this is the internal cap is set at 8mill for our first line players , this is fantastic going forward.


I am so happy.

 

[417]

Happy people in the world now:

- Caufield
- Canadiens
- Habs fans
- Tony Marinaro

This is going to be an epic victory lap for Tony lol

 

[Team_Spirit]

Congrats Cole

 

[HomaridII]

Cole will speak to the Media at 1pm via Zoom. Just an FYI.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Great deal for what I think will be a perennial 40-50 goal scorer. Love you Kent.

With the cap going up soon, this deal will look like a major steal in a couple of years.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Once they got the Pez extension settled, Kent was able to focus on Caufield.

 

[Gamimenos]

This pleases me greatly.

 

[habdynasty]

Yee haw!!!

 

[Ozmodiar]

The Suzuki Cap is in effect!

Hughes controlling costs within the “no superstar” framework. PLD take notice.

 

[Colezuki]

Best news of the week and it's only monday

 

[KevSkillz4]

That's make my day!! Great deals!! That's going to be a steal of deal in couple of years!!

 

[Tuggy]

While I was confident a deal would come, this is a major bit of business to get done before the offseason begins.

Now HuGo know what their cap situation is with Caufield on board. Big couple of months ahead with the draft, UFA and offseason deals. Not really much in house business left to worry about.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Amazing deal for the team and a fair deal for the player.

Couldn’t ask for any better without someone getting bent over.

 

[Treb]

Awesome deal!

@themilosh do they still have to trade him or everything is ok now?

 

[Andy]

Damn, that's a good deal if Caufield ends up being the real deal (which all signs point to yes).

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Alright, Marinara, I'll give you one more chance as he reported a 7, or 8 year deal yesterday, or before.

Unless he got that from someone else.

 

[MarkJ]

What a deal! Love Cole for wanting to stay here long term and Kent for using magical powers.

 

[Habs Halifax]

And some of us were worried? Said it like 100 times, there is no way he is going to be paid more than Suzuki and J Hughes.

A very good contract. Not sure who comes along that gets paid more than Suzuki and Caufield now? They might make Dubois fall in line if he really does want to sign here. Or they are willing to pay him a bit more because it's mostly UFA years. Maybe 8x $8.5M AAV or something like that. Something else I said is we are offer him NMC and lots of signing bonus structure to keep the AAV down. Won't be surprised if it's 8x $8M.

A good day!

 

[Captain97]

Alright, Marinara, I'll give you one more chance as he reported a 7, or 8 year deal yesterday, or before.

Unless he got that from someone else.

He also reported the cap hit.

 

[Fatbiggie]

So Happy. Amazing deal. LFG!!

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

YESSSSS the deal I was waitin for, slightly under Suzuki

 

[KevSkillz4]

7,85 for a futur 50 goal scorer and PPG player, Hughes is a Master of negocations
