Player Discussion: Cole Perfetti 10th OA pick

[MelikeJets]

Right, and when the closer we get to Cole missing meaningful time, the more likely it is that they'll settle in the middle somewhere

I could see chevy sticking to 3.25, which just makes it more obvious that they'll settle ~3.5 once the game of chicken gets real. Once the season starts, every day will knock Cole's pay for the season down closer to the number chevy is asking for

You are probably correct Buffdog and this is the part of pro hockey that I can't stand.

What I am saying is the jets haven’t come off 3.1 and Perfetti hasn’t come off 3.75. That’s why it is not done.

I said from what I heard because that’s what happened. Maybe I should have used different language. Which I will do next time.

Sounds to me like they are really counting the pennies in this deal -
Is it possible that the Jets are not as high on Perfetti and many around here are?
Are there concerns with this ability to stay healthy, his stamina, his size, his speed? Maybe it isn't all about comps / production up to this point.

This won't be popular but why would the Jets fret over a gap that looks to be around $500K if the player is anything close to what he is sometimes described around here as?
Sounds like the Jets are also concerned about a bridge number that shouldn't really worry the org too much - I thought there might be concerns with a longer term deal at this point - but the bridge money we're taking over two years?
I was thinking at one time that the Jets would go as high as $4M on a 2yr bridge - now I'm really wondering what is going on here.

Chevy always grinds hard when they have the leverage. They do it to everyone. Which is why you've seen most of his prime RFA's hold out into camp. I don't think there is anything to read here, he is just maintaining past precedence. If he gives into Cole, then he has to give into Lambert and co down the line.

Yup, Chevy has the leverage so he'll just do as he always does and wait the other side out, but will up his offer a bit for the other side to save some face.

Cole will sign by next weekend imo. His camp knows he can't afford to miss real games and he'll want to get in atleast one preseason games to shake off the rust.

I get that Chevy has the leverage - but why push this to the 11th hour when the dollars are not significant in this cap world.
It's the amount of money I'd be concerned about - it's not a lot and there is no reason to push like this if the player is a key pce in the future as some have stated. There's nothing to gain here for Chevy - he's not nickel and diming a bottom 6 hole where he can play the "negotiation game" to save a few bucks.
I don't get it unless there is more too it - thus the points I brought up in my initial post.

I get what you are saying, but this is how they do it. He pushed it to the 11th hour with JoMo, KC, snd Laine as well. I actually respect that he uses the same tactic for everyone. Chevy gets his price, this doesn't just apply to trades but contracts as well when he has the leverage. In two years time Cole's camp will hold it.

Using Vilardi s deal as a base on a 2 year bridge.

2 years @ $3,437,500.00

Healthy scratch for 4 out of 5 games on our playoff limp to the Finnish of last spring.

Cheveldayoff is doing what he has to do in this market.
It probably shouldn’t matter to the players personally but it may rub some the wrong way.
Tough business and that’s what it is to ownership a business.
