How the COVID-19 pandemic might affect Cole Caufield’s upcoming year

While one big name from the Montreal Canadiens’ prospect pool finally arrived when Alexander Romanov entered the bubble, all eyes have shifted to the next blue-chipper likely to join the Habs professional ranks. That of course is Cole Caufield, who after much discussion opted to return to the University of Wisconsin for his sophomore season. That meant it was likely to be over a year before Montreal could have feasibly seen Caufield in a Habs sweater.

Then of course there was this current global pandemic, and now leagues across the world are feeling the brunt. One of those leagues is the NCAA, and earlier this week multiple conferences voted to delay their fall sports, mainly centred around the sport of football.
