i fully agree with all of this, and if anything, the rough patch is a positive sign. If you’re looking for signs that he has room to grow and another gear to hit, it’s not hard to find them.
My sources tell me he was considering leaving the team after meeting with them!
My thought is he started to struggle a bit once they started to discuss this new deal. Bratt seems like a thoughtful kid. I don’t doubt it weighed on him. My guess is he will take a nice step forward in his all around game now. I’m excited for him.
Maybe the whole Contract Drama took as much a toll on him mentally as it did on us.
umm...may I ask why?
Sometimes you take things too seriously Glen.
Google-Translate is kind of brutal but here it is....lol :
It has been a long process.
But a two-year contract and a one-year contract later, he stands here now with a newly written and well-paid eight-year contract with the New Jersey Devils - with an annual salary rate hit of 7.875 million dollars per season, which is about 670 million kroner in total.
Jesper Bratt signed just over a week ago.
- Great fun, super fun that it was finally done. It has been a long way from the first game in the Devils to the situation you are in now, but everything comes from extremely hard work and you have trusted the process. It has been the goal from the start to play here for a long time and continue to build on the young, skilled team we have. Hopefully, that dent will be lifted during the course of the contract, says Bratt to HockeyNews.se.
- Staying at the Devils and signing a long contract means a lot to me. The chance to lift that trophy is extremely high in our organization and I want to be part of that journey.
Despite the fact that the ink has barely had time to dry on the new agreement, it is not about a longer holiday.
That part has already been completed and Bratt is fully focused on becoming a better hockey player for the 2023/24 season.
- I got my vacation for this year and I took it right after the season. Now the focus will be mostly on physics and focus on ice and hanging out with the family here in Sweden and making the most of it as much as you can. Pavel Zacha is one of my best friends who is getting married this summer, so there will be a little bit of that, but then it's just about getting better, says Bratt.
How do you feel about Vegas winning?
- They play so fantastically well the whole team from the first chain to the fourth chain and the goalkeeper who had to jump in when injured. A team machine through and through that deserved to win, says Bratt, who of course took part in William Karlsson's victory speech and he is impressed by his compatriot on the other side of the USA.
- It was fun to see, I hope I myself get to stand there one day and give a speech like that and have some people laughing at me for it too. He is an extremely big factor in Vegas winning and it's fun to see a Swede mean so much to a team.
When HockeyNews.se meets Bratt, he has been on the ice in Stockholm with, among others, Leo Carlsson, who is preparing for the NHL draft in a couple of days.
- It was fun to see him. I have read a lot about him and seen what a great season he had in the SHL and I followed a bit during the WC and am impressed with the way he plays. It will be fun to follow his journey here this summer and beyond.

So last night I tried to look into what the reaction was when the Devils drafted Bratt and found out NHL Network was on a commercial break when we picked him. They didn't even acknowledge him when they came back from the break.

Jesper is crying all the way to the bank and luxury villa.
I'm just glad he's re-signed because that means that certain Anti-Bratt posters did not get their wish of Bratt being gone just because.
