LW/RW Jesper Bratt - London Knights, OHL (2016, 162nd, NJD)

[Cheddabombs]

Plans can obviously change over the course of the season but for now it looks like Bratt will be here for the long haul and I couldn't agree more with that decision. The points may have dried up but he's still been very effective with the ice time he's been given and he's been far and away our best penalty killer. Plus, Palmieri got hurt again so Bratt will be in our top 6 until he gets back.

Should have just quit at his peak

 

[My3Sons]

He’s versatile and does many of the small things coaches expect from more mature players.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Hes been a difference maker. Sure his points has dried up past few games but him on the Devils make them better. Its not all about point total ... Even tho he is still amongst the rookie scoring leaders

 

[Agent Zub]

He should be on the Hall line.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

He got his first point in a while and a beautiful game winning shootout goal. He’s really good.

6th round pick in 2016. Still can't believe it.

As I said he can do the small things - like turn an NHL goalie into a pile of empty jersey and pads.

Give this kid offensive opportunities and all he does is put up points.

Since Palmeri has been out and he has been getting time with Hall and time on the power play, he is again looking like he did in the pre-season and in the first couple weeks of the regular season.

I'm not sure he will get regular top 6 minutes once Palmeri returns, but I am convinced he could easily be a 60+ pt player if he did.

 

[R8Devs]

goal and two assists today

 

[EnglishDevil]

1g 2a so far today, 4g 6a 10pts in 10 gp on the season.

This kid is something else.

 

[Lou is God]

He is sooooooo good

The story continues

 

[135ace]

Bratt is winning the Calder.

 

[Blender]

Bratt is so good.

Currently the 6th highest scoring player from the 2016 draft.

 

[Edmonton East]

Assuming he has the stamina, there is no excuse to not be giving him 19-20 minutes a game. Somehow this kid has been our most consistent player and seems to always make the right decision with and away from the puck. It's unreal.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Bratt is insane, so so so so good

 

[liquid1988]

Can't help but wonder how many GM's are shitting on their scouting teams for not seeing what this kid could be.

60p for a 6 rounder when he is 19 years old, has that even happen? Add to that good defense. I do not think it will happen for Bratt this season either, but it is fun as long as it last.

Man he is a legit top 3 forward for most teams. Plays all three zones extremely well. PK, PP, ES athigh levels.

That first vid on the link above is such smart hockey. Dumps it in at the perfect angle then undercuts the defender responsible for him and knows exactly where his teammate is for the one timer.

I’m in awe of him right now. The Devils would be 0-1-1 the last two nights without him. Instead he won them both games by being the difference maker. Incredible.

That first assist was superb.
