Perfetti optimistic about the upcoming 2024-25 NHL season
Scott Arniel stepping in as the new head coach, Perfetti is optimistic about his role on the team. He recalls thriving under Arniel's brief stint as acting head coach, where he saw increased ice time and production. This, combined with the departure of veterans like Tyler Toffoli and Sean Monahan, puts Perfetti in a position to seize more opportunities this coming season.
Perfetti has expressed his desire to remain in Winnipeg long-term, stating his love for the city, the organization, and his teammates. Whether the upcoming deal is a short-term bridge contract or a longer commitment, Perfetti is focused on making the most of the opportunity and being a key player for the Jets moving forward.
«Of course, I want to be here and be a big part of this organization,» he emphasized. «When they asked me to do this, it was a no-brainer. It's been a great learning experience, and I hope everything gets sorted out soon.»
When asked about his contract situation, Perfetti acknowledged that the negotiations have been a work in progress but emphasized that his focus is entirely on preparing for the upcoming season.
«It's a work in progress,» Perfetti said. «Both sides are working on something, and hopefully, it gets done soon. My mindset has just been focused on the start of the season. I can't control the business part of it, so I'm just getting mentally and physically prepared for opening night.»
