I never said Bratt wasnt a very good puckhandlerI don't know if I'd categorize gaining control or a guys play away from the puck as puck control though. Those to me seem to be more defense, or IQ stuff. Certainly things that help one gain control of the puck, but when breaking down a players game I think I'd make that distinction.
I also think your maybe underrating Bratt's ability to maintain control with a defender on his back, perhaps not along the boards, but he is really good at controlling the puck with a defender physically on him. There is more his puck control game then just open ice.
I just think Hischier is elite with his puck control
