As the NHL offseason clock is slowing winding down, the latest reports indicate that Winnipeg Jets Cole Perfetti could be staying with the club long term.
Many hockey insiders thought that Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff was leaning more towards a 2-3 year bridge deal, but it now appears that a long term solution could be on the table.
Negotiations between Cole Perfetti and the Winnipeg Jets are showing significant progress toward a long-term contract extension, according to reports from Sportsnet's Luke Fox and the Winnipeg Sun's Scott Billeck.

Cole Perfetti showed some sign of promise last season, but his play suffered some inconsistencies under former bench boss Rick Bowness.
Scott Billeck indicates that a new found relationship has developed between new head coach Scott Arniel and Perfetti that could sway the young forward to stay in Winnipeg long-term.
Arniel's expressed trust in Perfetti, coupled with plans to utilize him in a top-six role with expanded power-play opportunities, has been instrumental in fostering a more favorable environment for the young forward's development.
This potential for increased ice time and a stable role under Arniel's leadership is persuading Perfetti to commit to a longer-term deal rather than a traditional bridge contract.
