Player Discussion: Cole Perfetti 10th OA Pick - signed ELC 9/11

[surixon]

Not sure what you are referencing but I agree with your point. When we are picking in the top 10 and have a chance to swing for the fences then why pass it up?

Colorado was a good team with a great base that backed into a top #5 pick and got a chance to add Makar. There was real risk involved in that pick but they swung for the fences and landed a massive piece to their contending roster.

Perfetti is that kind of asset potentially and Jets are in the ideal spot to take that chance.

Pretty much my thoughts on the pick. Cole has some question marks and areas in his game that he will need to improve but hes a top 3 talent and if he's as motivated to prove people wrong as he comes across the sky's the limit for him.

Perfetti has top line potential.

Some people, man. Must be tough being that cynical in life.

What's that supposed to mean?!

Cynicism...

It's rarely Perfectti at times...

I assume he is referring to this post (below):

Oh lovely, look! The Jets passed up the dominant, two-way centre with size (Lundell) for yet another undersized winger.
Good draft pick, great job.

Not a popular position, judging by the number of likes....

There are never any guarantees in life but Perfetti has played centre (and wing) but says he prefers playing centre. Jets also have a gaping hole at Centre so my belief is he will be given every shot to fill that hole in the future. Time will tell I guess?

this is also the team that despite having a gaping hole at centre continued to not fix it long term.

Well hopefully this time between Stastny near term and Perfetti long term we have fixed it but time will tell.

Bryan Little was the definition of a 2nd line center.

Management can't predict that he would get a puck in the ear 7 games in to the season and end his career. It's nearly impossible to just pluck one out of thin air midseason as well without massive implications.

Stastny is honestly the best case scenario.

Would appreciate the lines with the #s if they're available somewhere

I think this is all we can work with at this point...

At least it has #'s for Perfectti's squad...

Little has been no better than a 3rd line centre for years.

He’s slow but cuts straight lines

Indeed. We should hope as much for Perfetti.

Why isn't this on TSN not like anything is going on

 

[John Agar]

Team Red so far is by far the quicker, better puck moving squad... every line so far...

[surixon]

A whole lot of rust in this game so far. Q players unsurprisingly looking sharper.

And the OHL players don't like the physical play...
