3 Offseason Trade Destinations for Winnipeg Jets' Cole Perfetti
Winnipeg Jets forward Cole Perfetti will be an interesting player to watch during the summer. The 24-year-old forward is a pending restricted free agent and has been the subject of trade rumors in the past.
If the Jets end up making Perfetti available during the offseason, these three teams would make sense as landing spots for the 2020 first-round pick.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Perfetti could be a strong fit on a team on the rise like the Penguins. With the Penguins focused on the future, the 24-year-old Perfetti could be a player who grabs their attention. They struck gold this season by acquiring former first-round pick Egor Chinakhov from the Columbus Blue Jackets. Perhaps they could do the same with Perfetti.
Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings should be looking to add another skilled forward to their roster during the offseason. When noting that Perfetti can play both center and on the wing, he could make a lot of sense for the Red Wings to bring in. If they acquired him, he would give them another solid option to work with in their top six next season.
Los Angeles Kings
It has been a year offensively for the Kings, as evidenced by their minus-27 goal differential. With this, they need to be looking to add to their forward group this offseason, and Perfetti could be a player worth taking a flier on.
