He comes to mind as another late pick (who happens to be Swedish) that plays a two-way game and blows people away. So yes really.

We haven’t had much to celebrate over the last few years. I’m going to celebrate this. No one is voting him into the Hall of fame yet. The fact that he looks like an NHL player already is incredible.

Anyone else notice him back off the Leafs a number of times last night? Like legit the kind of treatment dynamic star players get out there. One in particular he picked the puck up the puck near our blue line and made a quick cut with speed to rush the puck, and you could hear yelling from the Leafs on the sportsnet broadcast and they started backing into the zone and collapsing to his side. He still managed to beat a couple guys, get deep and establish zone possession.

What strikes me about him is the way he always seems to have an extra second or two with the puck as he looks around in the offensive zone. I’m not sure if he is doing somethkng subtle to create more space but he’s not getting swarmed on the boards or in the corners. It’s as if when he has the puck everyone else is moving at 9/10 speed.

Again, I get it and I hope it lasts for 15 years. That's why I was hesitant to even post my original post. The word generational, comparing to Cup Winning multi year all stars, and the like is why I posted. I love what he's doing and would be blown away if he did it over the course of a career. At some point we've got to hit on a late round guy right?

Corsi is GROSSLY overrated
Not on the first ballot at least, but it's getting pretty close.
Yup. I think he said in an interview that he started working with a sports psychologist this summer and that totally changed his mindset. Gave me a mental image of that scene from Office Space.
He got hypnotized and now he's the 3rd best player from his draft class!

These things are possibilities, though, and not exactly remote ones either. Bratt's got great instincts and great vision. The only things I have a question about are durability and his shot/shooting frequency.

Supposed to be incredibly hard working as well. Seems the mental coach has really let him clean up how he works to go with how hard he already works.Yup.

I heard through the grapevine that Bratt had a BM today. Just want to keep everyone in the loop with all things Brattman.

he did an interview for 5 questions - said 63 was his number for training camp, but it's been working with him so far, so he'll keep it

If he was going to switch I think it would be to #98 which is what he wore last year because of his birth year assumedly. Would be a cool number but seems to keep #63 for now just like Zacha with #37. Only Santini and Hischier have switched from their development camp number. McLeod doesn't have #9 available either so I wonder what number he'll go to

I also think that if he pans out, it will be a spectacular story that the reason he wears #63 is because it was a crap, throwaway, high camp number, and he made the NHL anyway.
It's worth keeping #63 just to tell that story.
