Mathieu Perreault
Mathieu Perreault is entering the final year of his contract with the Jets. For the past two seasons he has not lived up to his $4.1 million annual salary in terms of production, partly due to injuries, partly due to an overall decline in his play.
It’s unlikely that Perreault will re-sign with the Jets as UFA, and almost guaranteed that he will not receive any contract offers near what he currently earns. Perreault will have tough competition to even earn a spot in the bottom six forwards for the Jets this season.
I predict that the combination of his Jets career coming to an end, and the competition for a spot on the roster will motivate Perreault to produce at a rate closer to his 2018-19 season where he scored 30 points.
