Video Description:
The Winnipeg Jets have locked up Cole Perfetti on a five-year contract carrying a $6 million AAV, avoiding arbitration and keeping one of their young core players in Winnipeg through 2031.
Andrew “Hustler” Paterson was joined by Murat Ates of The Athletic to break down why the deal got done so smoothly, whether it’s fair for both sides, how Perfetti’s injury-filled season affected negotiations, and why his offensive numbers may be ready to explode if he’s surrounded with the right linemates.
