It seems like the narrative or commentary around a long term deal is if the Jets are open to it, with the bridge being most likely
Sooooooo I'm guessing a long term deal happens

Player Discussion: Cole Perfetti 10th OA pick
- Thread starter Hunter368
- Start date
Well Cole is taking part in the team video stuff today and is listed on the TC roster so I'd guess progress keeps getting made. I doubt he'd be doing anything like this if something wasn't really close.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this deal was done and they were waiting until the right time to bring the hype
Thursday I think. Also, they have the big fan fest on Saturday
Ok, well then an announcement tomorrow would make sense. I was under the impression it started tomorrow.

His back half? Let's not forget the frequent "too small to hit the ice" benchings early in the year despite him having good defensive numbers compared to other certain players.
If Cole is actually open to a long term deal you should be smart and do it, get his prime years for cheap instead of paying equal value for them in 2 years time.
Agreed. He was sandbagged pretty good the first half as well. I honestly have no idea why he'd be open for a long term deal but if your the org you should jump at it.
I get the impression that Perfetti feels a nice connection to Arniel, as Arniel arguably gave him his best opportunities in Bones' absence. And has since reached out to him this summer. The kid seems to be very mature and has hooked into the core group, and is likely able to step past past slights and be very forward thinking.
Oh, I think he's very much dialed in with his new coach and the core group. But his usage under Bones impacts his contract value. If he feels he wasn't able to show what he was capable of due to it then I could see him pushing for a bridge so that he can prove to the org his worth with better usage under a coach who trusts him.
I think both sides can push past that IMO, and have a realistic appraisal on his future importance to the team. Long term deals ensure future well being for you and your family no matter what happens down the line. Something in the 6-7 year range that pays him $35 - 45 M would be very enticing.

Who signs the checks?
Arniel can say anything he wants, it’s not as simple as that
A coach that trusts him? Wasn't Arniel one of the coaches that benched him for 11 regular season games and all but 2 periods of the playoffs in favour of 2 AHL scrubs?

When Bones was away from.the team, Arniel had him out late in games protecting leads
If I recall, Perfetti played 19 minutes at least once under Arniel
In Perfetti's own words he said he didn't deal much with Arniel as he ran the PK and defense. So Cole's usage wouldn't have been in Scott's purview.

Bones was head coach in the playoffs. It wasn't Arniel's decision. When it was his decision, he played him lots
Are you saying that the Associate coach, the heir to Boneheads head coaching job, had no input into line-up decisions?

Bones pulled the same shit in Dallas with Hintz and Robertson and Arniel wasn't there. It wouldn't have mattered who was here with him he'd still have pulled it with Cole as it seems to be part of his development playbook. Bones had final say and kept touting his lame ass line of if I can scratch these elc players I can scratch Cole mantra.
Bones was the coach in the playoffs not Arniel.

you know that his job was the pk and the defense right?
one of the insiders said recently the Jets felt Pinto's deal was to high for Perfetti. IIRC it was reported Perfetti wanted 4m on a bridge, & EvolvingHockey had him closer to 3m. perhaps the Jets are closer to the latter in terms of a bridge deal.
for that initial Pinto deal was that 0.775m for half the year though? aren't deals that are signed in season valued at GP remaining?
anyway everyone seems to be saying bridge, but when insiders talk like that about the Jets it seems like its the opposite. so i am not going to be surprised if it's not a 2 year deal
are you including 2 years ago? didn't look at 22-23 but his highest TOI came against ANA when KC got hurt at 18:39, pretty sure bowness was back by then. even ehlers got 20 minutes that night lol.
