Bukauskas: “As I used to be mentioning earlier, Swayman, Perfetti, the RFA contract negotiations. Is there something Elliotte, you want to add to these information?
Friedman: “Actually, Kyle, I don’t assume the weekend was massive in information on both of these instances. I didn’t get the sense a lot motion on Swayman. So nonetheless a philosophical distinction on an eight-year deal. And I don’t get the sense there’s lots of willingness proper now, as of the weekend, to do a shorter time period on either side.

As for Perfetti, I didn’t get the sense a lot had modified on the weekend. I imply, we’ll see. I don’t assume Perfetti is kind of as dug in as Swayman is. And we’ll see what occurs early within the week. , the Jets had been on the highway, they went to Edmonton. So I sort of surprise if that slows all the things down a bit. We’ll see early within the week.
, the one factor about Perfetti is, I at all times surprise about these sorts of issues. When does everyone fear like? We talked about how well mannered this one was, how Perfetti went the media tour, how he participated within the charity fishing occasion.
Like, the one factor I at all times fear for everyone concerned right here, when does it flip like? When does the frustration boil over? And the way does everyone attempt to forestall that from taking place, or work to stop that from being an issue?
what, Kyle the one factor too about Perfetti is it appears as if with each contract that’s getting signed, everybody feels there’s like a brand new comparable, proper? And, you already know, I’ve talked about Pinto. Jacob Stollery, who’s debuting writing on the chats for us at Sportsnet, he talked about some decrease comparables that he thought had been extra honest, then the Guenther contract comes up, and he’s solely performed 78 video games. And folks like, oh, no, what does this imply?
The one factor that’s all sort of jogs my memory is everyone can choose their comparable that they like. And I’ve sort of caught with Pinto, though I do know the Jets don’t prefer it as a result of their numbers are so related. But it surely comes all the way down to a spot the place everybody’s acquired to be snug, proper? The crew, the participant, the agent.

And you already know, we’re not, we’re not there but. However the one factor I simply fear about, on this case, like swimming, we’ve seen among the anger boil over. I simply assume, for those who’re Winnipeg and Perfetti, you’re like, ‘Okay, how can we forestall that from taking place? Particularly with a younger participant, you already know older gamers, they have a tendency to say, it’s enterprise. I’m used to that now, youthful gamers. The primary time you undergo it, it’s at all times more durable, so the Jets have that to cope with.
