Oh my! I am ELATED that the Jets got Cole Perfetti who slid to #10! He was taken as high as #4 in several mock drafts! They say his hockey IQ is THROUGH THE ROOF! Cannot wait to see him in Winnipeg!

 

[Rheged]

Better than I thought reasonable to expect. Great pick!

 

[buyinnow]

This is big.

 

[Duke749]

@ps241 This was your guy right? I haven’t followed the draft this year so I’d love your opinion on him?

 

[Neuf]

So uhh can he play C?

 

[cg98]

I can’t believe this guy fell to us. Absolute steal.

[Belhammer16]

Oh my goodness

 

[lanky]

Exactly what I DID NOT want to happen.

I hope he works hard on his skating and I hope his coach transitions him to C.

I've heard his effort be questioned. I hope that doesn't turn out to be a problem.

 

[Gil Fisher]

That could not have gone any better!

Got our 1C of the future!

 

[Skidooboy]

I hate this pick!

it's a jets board someone had to say it

 

[Afterburner]

Welcome to the Jets, Cole!!!

 

[fmrdh]

Loving it

 

[surixon]

Never thought he would ever be available to us. The guy imo might be the best offensive player in the draft. If he can improve his skating and stick at C we will be incredibly happy with him.

He is incredibly smart, great hands, elite scoring instincts and an incredible playmaker.

 

[Aggie204]

Me likely, his OHL resume is amazing. Hopefully we can see him in 2 years.

He’s already a C

[MardyBum]

Elite skill.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

This years Barzal

 

[EpicGingy]

I'm excited because you're all excited.

I'm looking forward to seeing him play whenever that is.

 

[jetdiehard]

He isn’t the biggest guy

 

[electroflare]

He’ll be a beast if he can put on 20lbs of muscle
