That much?

Good for him!

Now play him, please.

 

[Prairie Habs]

FridgMan was saying he wanted the pinto contract. Came up a half mil short.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Seems pretty fair for both sides. Prove it deal for him to make bank next round.

 

[scarbrow]

Fell right where a lot thought it would but not as much as the kids hoped

 

[Vitto79]

So no more cap space ?

 

[gojetsgo]

3.3 remaining with a 22 man roster

Nope:

Through 40 games last season was pacing a hair below 29 goals and 29 assists, then he fell off. Considering his age and what he's shown already I'd bet on him being a lot closer to those first 40 games right now as a player.

 

[GCK]

A little high IMO

 

[Hunter368]

No surprise there, standard solid prove it type of deal.

 

[Ciao]

Super. I'm glad they've reached a deal

 

[canadianmagpie]

If he's able to put an entire season together, it's a solid deal.

 

[PensandCaps]

woah, a rare bridge deal for a good young player, instead of a 8x7.

Good team vs bad team?

Good team vs bad team?

Maybe, or could be that a young player doesn't want to spend that long in Winnipeg.

We would love him on the lightning. Are you guys looking for young defenders?

Only good ones. The Jets are stcked with the 4/5D that everyone offers on HF.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

It's a shame they didn't have the space to lock him up longer term, I suspect his next contract will be expensive.

This is a great price for him now though.

It's a horrible thing the jets don't have a gm that hands out 12 million aav contracts like candy. If perfetti was a pen he'd be signed already to 8x11 contract

How much is he worth long term?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

How much is he worth long term?

I expect he'll be at least a 7M player if he can be healthy. He's too talented otherwise.

You’d give him $7m today long term?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

You’d give him $7m today long term?

Today I'd probably offer like 6M on an 8 year deal today. He's produced near 2.0 5v5 p/60 over his career, despite only having 1 secondary 5v5 assist last year.

He's averaged a 46 point pace through his first 2 years while only playing 14:10 a night, I think he would pretty easily be a 50-60 point player with PP1 deployment.

 

[biturbo19]

Makes sense to me. It's a little on the rich side maybe, but that's probably the trade-off to maintaining team control at the end. Which is probably important to Winnipeg. And it's not like it's a big overpay that's going to get in the way of anything.


And it's the right sort of a deal for a player who has started to show some promise, but hasn't really proven anything yet. Either you get a couple years of really solid value and find a new value that works two years from now...or you get what you get for a couple years and can just sort of walk away after that.
