JESPER BRATT'S HOT START TO THE 2022-23 SEASON

      One extremely underrated player that has been putting up insane numbers this season is Jesper Bratt. Bratt was chosen in the 6th round of the 2016 draft.The winger has put up 4 goals and 12 assists in 10 games. This means he’s put up 1.6 points per game which is unbelievable. In addition, he’s had a point every single game this season (current 10 game point streak as of 11/2/22). His current 10 game point streak is tied with the current (11/2/22) franchise record, Tim Higgins. He could beat the franchise record on 11/3/22 against the Edmonton Oilers. Jesper Bratt was an RFA last offseason and GM Tom Fitzgerald signed him for $5,450,000 for just this 2022-23 season, avoiding arbitration. GM Fitzgerald has also said that he will begin chatting with Jesper Bratt’s agent in January. Last year, Jesper Bratt had a wonderful breakout season scoring 26 goals and 47 assists, for 73 points in 76 games played. That means he averaged nearly a point per game which is very impressive. Without a doubt, Jesper Bratt is a key player for the New Jersey Devils and GM Tom Fitzgerald should look into extending his contract as soon as possible. If Fitzgerald is unable to sign him this season, Bratt will become an RFA this offseason and could potentially go to arbitration. Do you think Jesper Bratt could put up 100+ points this season?
