David Pagnotta provides update on Cole Perfetti

Pagnotta reports that the Winnipeg Jets are nowhere near closing in on a deal with Cole Perfetti. As it stands, Cole Perfetti could be interested in signing long term, but the deal could potentially be too steep for Kevin Cheveldayoff's current salary cap.

Pagnotta suggests that a bridge deal is the likely outcome at roughly $4 million dollars AAV.

Signing Cole Perfetti remains the last point of business for Kevin Cheveldayoff this NHL offseason. Newly appointed head coach Scott Arniel mentioned during his coaching summit that Cole Perfetti has an opportunity regarding top 6 minutes, which could ultimately lead to the RFA signing long-term with the club. Perfetti's fate with the club now resides with Cheveldayoff.
