MAJOR: A new formidable duo is forming for the Montreal Canadiens, involving Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield
In the hockey world, there's increasing talk about duos rather than trios. Yes, there are three forwards on the ice, but inevitably, two players form a chemistry and are accompanied by a third companion.
For the Canadiens, the duo of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield has always been very strong, but Martin St-Louis was forced to separate them to create a spark. However, what's happening now is quite remarkable.
Cole Caufield is developing a beautiful chemistry with Juraj Slafkovsky. The two connect well on the ice, and they're having a lot of fun playing together.
For Slafkovsky, the sentiment is much simpler but equally powerful.
Considering that Kirby Dach and Slaf already have good chemistry, and Cole does too, it's hard to overlook the possibility of forming a strong trio next year. Anthony Martineau raised this hypothesis, or the idea of seeing Suzuki at the center of this new duo.
Now it remains to be seen how Martin St-Louis will shape his lines, but it's starting to get very interesting.
