Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli disclosed that the Winnipeg Jets almost pulled the trigger on trading away forward Cole Perfetti.

The reported trade proposition was Cole Perfetti, Rutger McGroarty, and a draft pick in exchange for Carolina Hurricanes Martin Necas.
This trade was likely contingent on Necas signing a long-term deal with the Jets, which could be why it fell apart if true.

If this deal was close to happening, the value isn't bad for either side. The Hurricanes would win the deal in the long-term outlook, but considering McGroarty likely won't play for the Jets, most trades that include him will have the other team being the winner in hindsight. This kind of trade is what the Jets are likely hoping to pull off when they deal him because if they trade him as an asset on his own, they probably won't get a fair return.

Obviously, the trade never went down as Martin Necas recently signed a 2 year contract extension with the Hurricanes.
Kevin Cheveldayoff will be looking to sign Cole Perfetti in the coming weeks. It's looking like a 2-3 year bridge deal will be the likely outcome.
