Former Canadiens’ Scout Happy For Caufield

Trevor Timmins is no longer with the Montreal Canadiens organization. Still, he did spend 19 years working for the team, first as a scout, then as the director of player development, and, by the time he left, as an assistant to the general manager. In a recent interview with TVA Sports’ Anthony Martineau , the man behind so many drafts for the Habs spoke about sniper Cole Caufield.

The now assistant director of amateur scouting with the Columbus Blue Jackets mentioned that he wasn’t all that surprised that Caufield was still available at number 15, even though his agent Pat Brisson, had told Marc Bergevin there was no point in taking him out to dinner at the NHL combine because he would be long gone by the time the Sainte-Flanelle took to the stage.

They want to make a good impression.

They walk the straight and narrow and are mindful of everything. They never order dessert! But I will never forget when Marc and I ate with Caufield in a steakhouse.

We’re there, chilling and only Cole orders dessert, perhaps the biggest chocolate sundae in history! Perhaps bigger than he was! He’s such a positive person, so cheerful.
