Regardless of how he turns out, we're very lucky to get him at #10.

100% this ^^^^

Really its all about risk reward. If Cole doesn't optimize then so be it, teams have high draft picks that fail all the time. However if things click like I think they will he could be a very good #1 center that we get on an ELC. So the timing and the team need completely aligned. Honestly when we look back in 5 years there is a chance he might have been the best player in this draft for the Jets needs at this snapshot in time as in top 3 in a redraft and top center drafted in 2020.

Yup, he has that level of talent and smarts. If he as he says in his post draft interviews is now really taking his training, skating and diet incredibly seriously then we could have a very special player on our hands.

This is a kid that has always been way ahead on smarts and talent. If/when his physical development catches up to his peers watch out.

Let’s hope this kids smarts will help him play a good defensive games. Right now only statsny is a good defensive top 6 player for us. He will be gone when this kid comes in.

Signed . 1.6 mil a year wow. Is this the new normal ?

It includes entry level bonuses.

It is essentially the same ELC they gave to Ehlers and Scheifele. Pretty standard values for players drafted in that range.

Without seeing the bonus structure details (not yet on Cap Friendly) it looks to be approx $100,000 less than what Minny gave Rossi on his ELC.

With "bonus $$" still allowable. Not a guarantee but is the actual cap amount near season end if player "hits the bonus payable" parameters ( whatever those are in specific player's contract). Standard base maximum amount is still $925,000/ per, I believe.

 

[Guardian17]

I'm really happy he is signed!

As far as I can tell, Perfetti was the 11th first-round pick signed to his ELC. Rossi's signing by the Wild probably set up a good comparable, with Perfetti slotting in at 100K less on AAV.

You are correct. Cap Friendly now has the contract on their website. Performance bonuses are $733,333 per season.

 

[KingBogo]

Well done Chevy. I'm quite happy this little piece of work is now done.

 

[Weezeric]

I can’t wait to see him in the NHL! I don’t think I could think of a better style to play with Laine. Maybe if he was 6’2 but then he would never have dropped to 10.

 

[Atoyot]

Good, now loan him somewhere and get him playing hockey.

He's OHL property. Can they loan him anywhere?

Besides, it won't be long before he has to start his quarantine prior to the World Juniors and then he likely goes to Jets training camp.

 

[surixon]

I guess this just leaves Roslovic as the loan contract outstanding.

Hmm, I may have assumed that because Rossi got loaned out Perfetti could be too but maybe it's different for imports.

You are correct his skating and size were the only reasons he slipped to #10.

 

[BatVader]

Took long enough

It shouldn't be given Rossi was drafted out of the OHL as well.

Having said that I dont see Perfetti going anywhere on loan in the short term given that he will be heading to team Canada's camp in a couple of weeks.

 

[Whileee]

Took long enough

11th first round pick to be signed.... still 20 unsigned.

AAV is about 117k less than Rossi (smaller performances bonus for Perfetti). Tidy work by Chevy.

 

[KingBogo]

Cap Friendly now has Perfetti's Performance bonuses as $500,000 for year 1 and $850,000 for years 2 and 3. Seems to be a bit of a nod to give the kid a little bit more in years he is most likely to hit his performance bonuses.
