The Winnipeg Jets signed 2020 first-round draft pick Cole Perfetti to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Monday.
Perfetti was the fifth-ranked North American skater entering the draft, but the Jets landed the dynamic center at 10th overall.
The 18-year-old finished second in the OHL in scoring last season with 111 points in 61 games.
The OHL isn't slated to return until February, but Perfetti is expected to feature prominently on Canada's world junior squad.
