Someone interrupt @surixon supper as his boy is signed.

I'm in an executive meeting. Glad to see its done, Chevy got his price.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Time for the confetti.

Bridge deal was the obvious choice for both sides here I think.

EDIT: The way negotiations were handled and Perfetti's relaxed vibe about the whole situation, I bet they tried to get a long-term deal done but both sides figured it wasn't likely so had this in the back pocket ready to go.

Perfetti is the anti-Dubois/McGroarty... everything about this guy is so likable.

And you let work interfere with your Jets fandom. I was once there but I’m now retired and get a little more flexibly other than my teaching online retirement gig. “Okay everyone we are going to have some independent work time while your instructor focuses on the latest Jets news”

Fair deal. Good for Perfetti.

Hahaha. It's a volunteer board position, I need my PD hours lol.

 

[DRW204]

Like always with the Jets fair RFA deal.

 

[jungles]

Yay?

 

[John Agar]

Happy for both parties…

But the onus now is on Perfecti’…

To earn the contract he thinks he is worth…

Seems Evil Uberfart overplayed a bad hand and lost…

And a young player who wants to play gets his chance at even bigger money…

Go Perfetti Go… !!!

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Sounds like hard bargaining. Not unlike the Copp and Trouba deals relatively. Glad the kid just wants to play hockey in Winnipeg.

And we know what Copp and Trouba thought about playing here long term.

He'll need it for that big Pionk extention incoming lol

You LOL, but just wait...

 

[Buffdog]

Glad to have that done. I am still not happy with how Bowness cost Perfetti his goals performance bonus via his nonsense scratches. Thought he was gonna make an issue out of it in these negotiations. Hopefully Chipman gets him some Santa Lucia Pizza and Jimmy Buick Chevrolet BMC endorsement deals to make up for that travesty by the former coach.

WHO cost Cole his goals bonus?

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

If I were an NHL GM, I'd be looking to either bridge or low-ball literally every player for first extension aside from absolute no-doubters - Probably the only two players in Jets 2.0 history I'd have been comfortable not bridging would have been Trouba and Morrissey - Maybe Ehlers depending on exact terms. I was just so comfortable with those players' floors I'd have been willing to inject more contract risk.

(That list is just based off on-ice stuff, obviously)

 

[LowLefty]

Glad that's done - let's see what he can do - balls in his court as he preps for that next contract.

Rick Bowness did. Probably hates that the word "Bonus" is a homophone for his last name.

 

[bustamente]

As expected a bridge deal done before the season starts. Now it's up to Koal to earn that long term big ticket deal.

 

[Buffdog]

Rick Bowness did. Probably hates that the word "Bonus" is a homophone for his last name.

Yeah, Cole had no chance at all to score in those 23 games in a row there. All Bowness's fault

Cole was scratched for 11 games - those are games had had no chance to score

He played in 71 - lots of chances for a few more but COLE failed

 

[Bender Duster]

Wow. I was guessing it would be 2 x $3.625. Fetts will be looking to double that up when this contract is up.

 

[Malcsta]

Happy with this contract because it puts more onus on Cole to prove himself. Give him 6m for the next 5 years and half the work is already done for him. No thanks, bridge is the way to go

 

[DRW204]

Just lol.
A quarter of the season with out a goal.
GM said we need top 6 reinforcements bc of his inability to score.
Hopefully he has a better season, and is scheifele circa 2016 like some suggest.

 

[WolfHouse]

I already used that joke. You owe me a Big Nip.

 

[cbcwpg]

Bridge was the way to go.

 

[Shlep]

Perfetti-Namestnikov-Ehlers was such a strong line last season. Really hope they're put back together, it's such a benefit to be able to have a player like Namestnikov mesh with higher talent players so you can distribute talent elsewhere, instead of ham fisting Monahan into a line that doesn't work at all (not blaming Monahan for that) and ruining the balance the team had.

Yeah, but nobody reads your posts
