Jesper Bratt Signs 8 year deal with the NJ Devils! The contract we’ve being waiting a long time for has finally been signed and Bratt returns to the Devils for 8 more years. The NHL trade rumor mill was starting to add Bratt, but not anymore.
The other long term deal were all waiting to see get done is Timo Meier, but with him the Devils are doing the same thing as the Ottawa Senators with Alex Debrincat and are going to Arbitration. This was done to get Meier at less than 10 million for the year and also gives both sides more time to try and get a long term contract done.
Can Fitzgerald get him to sign a deal like Jack Hughes or will it be to high of a price tag and force a trade out of New Jersey?

Great news. Hope Fitz can chew Meir down some. Agree, Meir is not worth 9 milllion. Would like to see Haula, McLeod, and Bastian back with the Devils as well. Hate the offseason. Cannot wait for October.
Its an overpayment at this moment. Maybe in the future it looks like a solid deal as contracts of other players get more expensive around the league.
What is this obsession with no one gets more money than Hughes when Hamilton makes more than him already per year?
Meier is a tough cas because hi #'s have him compared to guys like Pastrnak and Tkachuk, but for the category he's placed in, I don't think I would want him over any of those other players. Devils may need to work out a short term deal with him for 3-5 Years
Dougies making 9 mil AAV. Palat makes 6 mil, which included a 15 million dollar signing bonus. Are both players worth that much right now? Timo will command 9 mil plus on todays market, esp with the cap going up significantly next yr. 8.75 – 9.1 mil for 7 yrs for Timo.
Amanda Stein just tweeted this about an hour ago:
Tom Fitzgerald reveals that he spoke with Timo Meier yesterday, and Meier has expressed wanting to stay here for the next eight years.
Has asked his agent to negotiate an eight-year deal to stay with #NJDevils
With Bratt, you always want less as a fan because you want to retain every good player on this team. From what the media has been saying Bratt got what was expected. I really think the Cole Caufield signing set the AAV for the market but it was also in line with what Kevin Fiala, and Andrei Svenchnikov made with their contracts.
But Amanda Stein said today that Meier has said he wants to stay 8 years with New Jersey! 😈🖤🔥
Exciting times. I expect Timo to bd signed soon. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the team fills out.
Huge signing. Timo is next. If so, dynasty in the making.We need Holtz to step up big time next year. Perhaps chase still man comes to the bottom 6 as well. I want to give Akira Schmid a change to get the staring spot. I believe in him. Do you think they will upgrade at goalie in the off-season?
I feel we will get some veterans in the bottom 6 as well.
Guys who want win a cup will sign for less here in the bottom
6. Goaltending is my only concern, just because we don’t know yet, we need Akira to play a whole season. I believe in him and I feel
He has the tools to be the guy. I want to see Tyler Brennan as well. He’s a few years away but I like his style of play. Get the goalie straight and look out!!!!! Let’s go devils, we are solid for the next decade!
fair and reasonable takes
Since Jack makes 8mil , it would be fair to expect under that for any player on the roster . Now , when Bratt almost reached that limit , it will be hard to contain Meier’s contract under . Anyway , it will be nice to see all the top guns making similar money which doesn’t create unhealthy atmosphere inside the team .
Just wish Holtz would take the next step then we let Bratt walk & sign Timo 🤔
Absolutely fantastic deal for NJ. Fitzs locks up another young cornerstone for 8 years with a tremendous cap number.
This is such a win for NJ.
Timo I hear wants 8 also…which I'm not sold on.
Especially, while NJ still needs a top tier l legit goaltender a still needs to lock up Mercer for the next decade.
Let's go Devils. Great deal
Great news, get ready to announce Timo’s extension very soon. The front office has been doing a remarkable job, I expect nothing less. Congratulations Jesper👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😈😎
