Habs expect Caufield to turn pro this year
Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said Monday the current expectation is that 2019 first-round pick Cole Caufield will turn pro this spring. It’s too early to tell the plans so far but expect him to turn pro when his year is done (in Wisconsin), Bergevin said of Caufield.

Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said Monday the current expectation is that 2019 first-round pick Cole Caufield will turn pro this spring. It’s too early to tell the plans so far but expect him to turn pro when his year is done [in Wisconsin], Bergevin said of Caufield.
The Maple Leafs held an optional skate at Scotiabank Arena. The Canadiens held a full skate.
It was during the playoff series against the blue collar Columbus Blue Jackets last summer that Auston Matthews realized something. It was definitely a lot more physical, the 23-year-old said, and it worked to my advantage.
And so Matthews is throwing his weight around more this season landing 4.3 hits per 60 minutes after averaging 1.2 in his first four seasons. I ve made it a point to be more physical, the 6-foot-3 centre said. I don t think it’s really over the top, but when I have opportunities to use my size and strength, whether it s with the puck or without the puck, [I m] trying to utilize that to my advantage.
