During the podcast, Cole Caufield also spilled the beans on his teammates. According to him, Justin Barron stole the show during the Habs' rookie dinner in LA. Caufield humorously noted that Barron, known for his quiet demeanor off the ice, was truly out of his shell that night.

“Justin Barron was probably the best," Caufield said. "He was dancing, singing, doing skits. He’s pretty funny man. The guy is quiet off the ice & to see him in that kind of scene is pretty funny, he was for sure out of his shell.”
