2021 Top Winnipeg Jets Prospect: Cole Perfetti
Skating
Perfetti can use some work on his first few steps and his overall speed. While he is not slow, he also is not amongst the quickest or fastest skaters around either. Perfetti could work with a good skating coach and improve his stride in the coming years. The rest of his footwork is very good though. His edgework and agility allow him to make quick cuts and to shake defenders. He also has a low centre of gravity and good lower body strength. This gives Perfetti the ability to fight through checks and makes him tough to knock off the puck. He is good at establishing his position in front of the net as well as winning battles along the boards. This area of his game will only improve as he gets bigger and stronger.
Offensive Game
Perfetti has outstanding hands. He can make moves in a phone booth. Perfetti combines his hands with his ability to make quick cuts and changes of direction. This makes him extremely dangerous in one-on-one situations whether it be working out of the cycle or coming in off the rush. He uses his quick moves to create shooting and passing lanes. Perfetti sees the ice extremely well and only needs to create a small amount of space to be able to set up a linemate. His ability to control the puck down low allows him to maintain puck possession in the cycle game. He is a smart player who almost always makes the right play with the puck.
