Onrait: “So the deal is done, Perfetti will enter the camp. What do you think of the deal, Craig?”
Button: “I think it's good money for the Winnipeg Jets. I think it's a good deal for Cole Perfetti.
So when Dawson Mercer of the New Jersey Devils signed his contract, three years with an estimated annual value of 4 million dollars, I think the limits were there for Cole Perfetti to now find a way to get a deal. One year is short. He doesn't have the same experience as Dawson Mercer, but certainly, if you think he's part of the point game player, I think it's a dollar well spent on Cole Perfetti.
This is a player that the Winnipeg Jets saw as being able to show the offensive brilliance they were expecting when they drafted him 10th overall. And I think as Cole matures and finds his way and gets a little more comfortable, I think, that production will improve a lot. And sure enough, for the Winnipeg Jets looking for offensive linemen, Cole provides that.

And yes, maybe there was a little pressure, but Kevin Cheveldayoff in most cases has shown, I will sign my players and I will get them for a good price. And I think, well, that's exactly what happened here with Cole Perfetti.
