Jets Sign Cole Perfetti to Two-Year Deal, End Contract Stalemate

Perfetti returns to training camp, focusing on proving his worth with Winnipeg after securing $6.5 million bridge contract.

The Winnipeg Jets and Cole Perfetti agreed on a two-year, $6.5 million bridge deal after a brief contract stalemate.
Perfetti missed the first four days of on-ice sessions but returned to training camp on Tuesday to a warm welcome from teammates.
The young forward aims to use the next two seasons to establish himself as a core player and secure a longer-term contract.
Perfetti's performance last season included career-highs in games, goals, assists, and points, but he also faced a significant scoring drought.
Jets head coach Scott Arniel is planning to integrate Perfetti into various line combinations and special teams, starting with his preseason debut on Friday.
