Other Offers sheets possibly on the horizon, but this time for Jets Cole Perfetti?

As seen with the Oilers earlier this off season, both Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg signed offer sheets with the St. Louis blues. Edmonton ultimately elected to not match the Blues offers.

There are still quite a few unsigned restricted free agents (RFAs) left on the board. Perfetti is one such name. He had 38 points on the season, but 29 of those came in the first 40 games. The second half was not nearly as effective, as the center only had nine points in the latter part of the campaign. Based on what he did in the first half, then it seems as if that is likely the player that these unnamed teams are interested in.
Even after his rocky second half, in which Perfetti was scratched in a few games, he showed skills that would interest not just a few teams. His skillset would interest almost every single team in the NHL, including his current organization in Winnipeg. McCarthy touched on the potential deal that could be offered to the 22-year-old and what it would also mean for the Jets.
"The Winnipeg Jets, in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat, would match an offer sheet of two years, $4.5 million," said McCarthy, as discussed in an article published by NHL Trade Rumors.

After all, a young, talented center who played at almost a point-a-game pace in the first few months of the 2023-24 season would fit in pretty much anywhere. Especially in a salary cap focused league, Perfetti would be particularly welcome with any of the NHL's top contenders. Since Winnipeg is one such contender, then it is probably unlikely he will call any place but Canada Life Centre home next season and beyond.
