With recent news surfacing regarding Kevin Cheveldayoff not trading away Cole Perfetti, this year marks a crucial one for the young forward.
The last objective for the Winnipeg Jets this offseason is signing Perfetti to a contract extension. The big question remains weather Cheveldayoff is leaning towards a brisge deal, or a long term extension.
Nonetheless, having been a healthy scratch down the stretch while also finding himself benched regularly late in games by former head coach Rick Bowness, Perfetti's true breakout may be ahead if he's slated to remain a fixture in the Jets' top six. Early indications are that new head coach Scott Arniel seems keen on implementing younger players in his lineup, and Perfetti is sure to factor into that.
While he's still in need of an extension, Perfetti's season is going to be one of the more interesting storylines entering the campaign. If he puts up better numbers than he did last season in more of a full-time role, the Jets will likely be getting more out of their top six by default.
With that being said, all eyes will be on Cole Perfetti has he embarks one of the most important seasons of his young NHL career.
