International reports indicate a team in the Swedish Hockey League is pursuing right-wing Cole Caufield.
When he was chosen by the Candiens in the first round of the 2019 N-H-L Draft, Caufield said he would return to Madison for a second season. Now, things have changed.
Montreal wants Caufield to see more action and the coronavirus pandemic could likely shorten the Badgers’ season.
Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin first supported Caufield’s plan to stay with the Badgers, but more recently he has said the ideal situation would have him playing in Europe until the N-H-L or its minor leagues start next season.
