“Jesper Bratt ” On His Contract Talks “we’ll get it done. I’ll see you guys for the next couple of years to come.”

Doesn’t sound like a guy who’s leaving to me. #NJDevils https://t.co/TS9tzZFjEQ

His agent is not going to like that lol
Dude must be amped for the Jets @ Devils games in the future
Sounds like he wants a bridge deal?
He and his agent are being so fucking difficult. Bratt can go away at this point 🤷♂️
Maybe he thinks his negotiating position is weaker due to his completely invisible playoff performance. Like I swear I barely even noticed he was on the ice most of the time.
Compare that to McLoeds unbelievable playoff performance
Sounds like a bridge.
A bridge to UFA.
I’d be fine moving him early and opening up an opportunity for Holtz or Clarke to get the playing time they need. Meier shouldnt be playing 3rd line.
Someone’s waiting to see how much the salary cap increases after this offseason.
The worst, dumbest fans are going to be very upset
Man, people are reading way into this. He is literally saying he wants to stay. I say who cares if it isn’t long term? He could hit UFA after this deal and still re-sign. Ya never know!
I hope this quote is not Bratt’s Parise moment lol
He knows he lost millions and all his leverage with that disappearing act in the playoffs.
I think he looked better the last game tbh. He was making more efforts to drive to the net and shooting.
To me if we can lock him down long term now when his value is a little less than it was after his great start I would go for it definitely.
He’s a driven player and he’s likely going to improve…especially in the playoffs. I think its way to quick to write him off.
But his agent is fucking annoying
People that don’t want to resign Bratt or think we should trade him are out of their goddamn minds. You don’t judge a player by 12 of 13 playoff games he’s played in his entire career. I swear this sub and it’s recency bias is insane sometimes.
Can we realistically sign Bratt and Meier to large contracts without tanking the rest of the lineup?
Jespers Agent- “no. I don’t think I will”
A lot of small brain behavior in these comments lol
Good for him. Id be happy to have him back. I know some of you are thinking hes alluding to a bridge deal and I think that overthinking the quote but tbh that would be best case scenario.
Thank fuck. Bratt is rightfully in the hot seat, despite making some good passes that didn’t get finished, but I believe in this dude.
He is a very smart player, he will grow from this. If he wants 3-4 year deal, I’d say ok 2 more runs with Bratt and we’ll see where we are. Then 2 more years to move him.
Great news. Bratt we want you to stay he’s part of the core 5 we have (Nico Jack Bratt Timo and Mercer)
Totally trust Fitz to make it happen
I’m open to move em
Considering his agent I cannot imagine he made this statement without running it by his agent so this feels very positive to me . It’s just as much a signal to the org as to how they plan to approach negotiations moving forward this year
I think it would be absurd to move on from a 24 yr old that’s put up back to back 70+ point season based on a span of 12 playoff games.
Zach Parise said the same thing similar after 2012. I’m not setting myself up for disappointment this time.
Fitzy about to get us that ” total post season ghost” discount on bratter
I believe in Bratt, not his agent
No, the Parise situation still hurts. I don’t believe until the ink is dry.
What have you done for me lately really applies here.
If he can figure out how to skate as fast as he does without the puck with the puck he’s gonna be dangerous. That’s my big thing watching him out skate the puck on his own stick
This may be huge recency bias…….
But someone tell me Bratt isnt over rated
I’d like to sign Bratt for the right price, but I honestly believe 7 would be fair at most. If not, I would def trade him if possible for a Goalie or a Nylander-type player. Hell, even Wilson would’ve been a nice add.
Listen, I know he has a lot of points/goals, but many of them were literally handed to him on a silver platter. You guys saw in the playoffs when he had to fend for himself; he couldn’t get anything going. That worries me.
Other players were playing hard, using their bodies. He didn’t even want to block shots or go after a dump-in. He would give up if someone bigger was in front.
Who would you guys trade Bratt for if you had to? Let’s say he doesn’t want to sign and time is short? I think if he doesn’t sign in the next month or so, I’d look into it to avoid him leaving for nothing.
I hope so, I need my jersey purchases to stop being the kiss of death.
“Jesper Bratt”
I’m good going to 6.5 per. Nothing more.
Well fuck yea.
Good, I’d like to see you in the playoffs too.
6x6m or 7m per I’ll buss
He’s proven to be a great regular season player. That affects his price positively. He is proven even though only in a limited amount of time that he doesn’t have a “next level” for the playoffs. Maybe that changes. Maybe it doesn’t. But I don’t think Fitz can afford to plug holes (cough goalie cough) by paying guys based on what they MIGHT do.
