Neither team wants to qualify either player because that walks them to UFA. Everyone is trying to avoid that because that is how you lose them for nothing or next to nothing.
Bratt is 24 and Timo is 26. SJare currently looking to re-build out of the next several drafts with 18yo kids. It isn't like Bratt is miles ahead as far as really fitting in their timeline, not that he doesn't fit but if he did they'd just keep Meier.
