Cole Perfetti And The Winnipeg Jets Appear To Be Headed For A Bridge Deal...Is That The Best Move?

With training camp just around the corner, the Winnipeg Jets are still sorting out Cole Perfetti's next contract.

Second line wingers are important but 8x8..no way

[@gordm3527]

Give him the Josh Norris contract.
8x8. He deserves it. By year 4 this contract will be cheap.

[@JoelER78]

What? No way he has proven that. Bridge contract. He is worth very little money right now.
