Prospect Info: #162 LW Jesper Bratt

[NjDevsRR]

Was impressed with Bratt at camp last year. Silky smooth hands with a good motor.

 

[AfroThunder396]

This was a great project pick. D+1 in Sweden, D+2 in London, D+3 in Binghamton, by which time he'll be 21 and will have spent two years in North America. Slow and steady. We'll have a much clearer picture of him by then.

He's eligible for WHC this year right? I seem to recall him being one of the last cuts for Sweden last year, is that correct?

And a strong stride.

Could be a very effective 3rd liner and PKer someday if all goes right.

lol wrong Jesper

 

[Snippit]

Interesting.. London is always a stacked team so he may not get as much ice time. May be better of in the Ahl if that is the case.

Can he play RW?

If he's strictly on the left side, he'll be competing against Jones and Miletic.

But he'd easily be the #1 RW - Knights don't have a whole lot there.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This is an excellent spot for him. Get used to NA ice with a really good CHL team, and next year he can cut his teeth as a professional.

This is what I'm hoping actually. He played a whole lot of RW for AIK and was even on the top line/top-6 a good amount, but he was shuffled around a decent amount. If he could get a consistent top-6 (hopefully even the top line) RW role for London that would do wonders.

I've read a few times now that he could crack the team this year. Any truth to that? Thanks in advance!

Highly doubtful. But I'm pretty optimistic that bratt will be a good player in the long run. Thought he was one of the best at the prospects tourney last week. He and hischier seem like they might be a duo in the future.

He certainly did not look out of place last night in his first bit of preseason action. Maybe he can get a couple of games in to start the year if he keeps it up and then go from there. Definitely promising for a 6th round pick to be threatening this early on in his development.

So do you guys think he'll end up in the AHL this season?

It sounds like he's been having a great camp

No, he will go back to the London Knights.

I don't think he's even eligible for the AHL this season? He'll 99.99% be in the OHL this season with London and maybe if he keeps up his play he'll get a small cup of tea in the NHL.

He's eligible for the A because he was drafted out of Europe.

I believe he is eligible for the AHL this season, but is more than likely headed to London

Ahh my mistake, but yeah he'll definitely be in London.

 

[theoptimist]

He's good.

 

[Blender]

I'm incredibly impressed that a 6th round pick from 2016 is making a case to make the team right now. He might be a good one.

Could he be tearing up the ohl with this kind of play???

"Jesper's been very impressive since rookie camp," Hynes said after the game. "He was very good in the camp itself, he's been very good in practice and two exhibition games he's played, so he continues to make a case for himself. Very smart, very competitive, plays with a high, high pace, and he's one of these guys, he can play when there's no time and space and still make plays."

Love it and I agree.

If he's tearing it up here, I would think he'd have no problem tearing it up there.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I'm pretty sure he's planning to report to London. Although at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 2-4 games before being sent back like Speers got last year.

I fully expect him to be in London this season, but at this point I hope he makes the team out of camp and is given some games.
