Jesper Bratt, 6th round pick in 2016, scores in NHL debut (5 points in 2 games)

For perspective. 94 forwards hit 50+ points last season. So if you're projecting Bratt as a 50 point forward, you're effectively saying he will become a 1st line forward. Not impossible, but seems improbable to me.

He's 19 playing his first ever season in north america after taking a massive jump in quality of competition (Swedish 2nd league to NHL), and he has 35 points this season in 71 games despite a few months stretch where he hit a wall.

The lofty 60 point projections for this season were way over the top. Discussion of his potential based on his skill set aren't.

Why is it improbable? Scoring 0.5 PPG as a 19-year-old is amazing.

In fact, that even sounds like a conservative trajectory for me.
