In recent minutes, journalist Chris Johnston shared some intriguing details regarding Cole Caufield. As you’re aware, Caufield was recently passed over for a spot on Team USA’s lineup for the Four Nations Tournament.
However, Johnston, who has deep knowledge of the NHL, suggests there might still be a chance for Caufield to join his teammates on the American squad.
**A Potential Opportunity for Cole Caufield as a Replacement**
Despite the disappointing news for Caufield, TSN reporter Johnston has indicated that the forward for the Montreal Canadiens ranks among the top two candidates for a replacement if any injuries, unforeseen issues, or other circumstances arise. Specifically, Johnston notes that Cole Caufield and Tage Thompson are the leading options for Team USA’s replacement list.
While no one wants to see any injuries, should such a situation occur before the tournament begins, Caufield could potentially get a call from Team USA.
This remains a possibility to consider if an injury to an American forward is reported prior to the competition’s start.
Additionally, Johnston also names John Tavares, Wyatt Johnston, Drew Doughty, and MacKenzie Weegar as possible replacements for Team Canada.
Moreover, let’s not overlook the Montreal Canadiens’ lighthearted criticism of Minnesota GM Bill Guerin for his decision not to include Caufield.
We appreciate this clever move from the Canadiens organization on social media.
