WINNIPEG — Cole Perfetti is determined to make the bridge deal that he just signed with the Winnipeg Jets pay off with a more lucrative pact in the future.
“A bridge deal is all about — I wouldn’t say betting on myself — I would say I have two years to go prove what kind of player you are, what you can do for this organization. That’s my goal every day, to just go and be the best player that I can be and revisit this in two years.” “Obviously, I wasn’t too pleased with how it went personally for me down the stretch,” said Perfetti, 22. “Last year, all things considered, was still a pretty decent year. I started off really strong and proved that I can produce in this league.
“Last year, he put together a real good, solid season and he’s got to back that up again and be consistent and do that on a nightly basis,” said Arniel, adding that Perfetti is a top-six forward. “I think he recognizes now how he needs to play. He knows now that he's facing the other teams’ top defencemen and their top forwards.
Perfetti appreciated the confidence the new Jets coach has shown in him in conversations over the summer.
