Zacha on the other hand is probably at like 18%
Or as I like to call it: the sweet spot.

No worries, I wasn't planning on divulging anything illicit, damning, or nefarious anyway as I haven't heard anything of that nature.If it's potentially libelous keep the gossip off the boards please.
In season, I’m pretty certain players don’t do a lot of weight training. Most guys use the offseason for the intensive stuff, like Travis when he blew out his bicep pre-camp. The season is too long and grueling to be killing your body in the weight room as well. I’m sure they still need to some weight workouts, but it’s likely just for maintenance. I’m obviously not the most educated on fitness, and I’m sure someone could correct me if I’m wrong or verify that I’m somewhat correct. I recall a video of Danny Briere talking about how he would decrease his stick flex as the season went on because you lose strength from not hitting the weights hard during the season.
Also, again I’m no fitness expert, but I’m pretty sure a big part of achieving a six pack is by avoiding carbs and obviously being super fit. Athletes need their carbs and you’ll see many players who have some type of pasta as a pregame meal to have fuel.
I do agree Zacha could look more trim however.
Well come on now, Nico has 13 goals in 44 games, Bratt before today had 3 in 33. While the hot take of Bratt being a dissapointment cause he wasn't scoring goals was off base he really does need to pick up actual goalscoring and not be completely totally one-dimensional. Even Scott Gomez usually got 15-20 a year.
Right now, Bratt is on a 4-game Point-streak with a goal and 3 assists.
Is your take still valid?
If his focus is more of being a playmaker than goal-scorer(but he scores goals now and then), he's NOT being completely one-dimensional.
Bratt and Pavel Zacha in Puerto Rico??
So...another 2-point night for the Unicorn in a terrific comeback win against the Minnesota Pari$es.
Me like.

My 'take' was response to you criticizing Nico for not scoring in a comparison when he's been scoring a ton more than Bratt. Bratt's played better lately but still five goals in 44 games isn't exactly a great total for a forward. He had eight goals in his last 62 games last season as well (after starting with 5 in his first 12). Near-term and for what his age is he's been fine. Long-term he's gotta actually produce a FEW more goals - at least mid-high teens per 82 games like Gomez. It's not really viable to have a small top six forward that can barely get to double digit goals scored in a season, if that. Yes that is one-dimensional offensively when you're an offensive forward with 13 goals in 106 games.
He has a sneaky nice one timer he doesn't break out very often. He unleashed a bomb against STL last season that was taken away due to offside. Plenty more room for goal scoring potential but I don't think anybody would complain with a Zuccarello type.
I would be ecstatic if he became a Zuccarello clone
Last year Bratt averaged 1.35 shots per game and this year he is averaging 1.81 shots per game.
If Bratt was shooting the same 13% as last year instead of the 6.3% hes shooting this year then he would already have 10 goals this season.
This season is probably more encouraging for his goal scoring than last season. If Bratt kept doing this season over and over you would say he’s likely a 13 goal guy. He will keep improving, generating more shots, and once we know what kind of shooting percentage seems reasonable we can make a good estimate for him.
He looks, to me, like a guy that we will say is a 20 goal scorer, even if there are fluctuations. His shots, time on ice, and shooting percentage should all increase from this season.
Thanks BratterHe has a sneaky nice one timer he doesn't break out very often. He unleashed a bomb against STL last season that was taken away due to offside. Plenty more room for goal scoring potential but I don't think anybody would complain with a Zuccarello type.
Goals?
Plus we all know he's not been as good as last year event of he has a few more secondary assists per game.
If you ran the club we would be 0-82
