Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 1 minute ago, mfitz804 said: I suspect he would pay in the $6 millions if Bratt were willing to lock in for a longer term. At any rate, at this point, really does feel like he's here for one year, maybe two max. I could see one year and "I'm not re-signing with you, trade me". Or of course two years and "I'm outta here and you can't do a thing about it." I have no idea what's really going on (none of us do), but it feels like this got ugly. Almost feels like Old School Lou right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case we should trade him ASAP while he’s probably at his highest value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 We have him for 2 more years, I’m not in a real big rush to trade him for picks, and punt yet another season. If they can get a good NHLer for him that’s different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly my thought, trading him now probably gets you something better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it’ll establish some sort of baseline for the arbitrator, Fitz is hoping that a deal gets done and he wants to make the QO as unattractive an offer as possible. That’s correct. Negotiating 101.

Crisis Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I read that the arbitration filing is just for the 1 year deal that comes from the arbitration hearing. Any long term deal offered to Bratt was probably at a lot higher AAV but in the case that this does go to arbitration, the value is just on this next season, which obviously comes in at a lower value as he is restricted.

SterioDesign Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Yeah there has to be a tactical reason it's this low. I just hope that no matter how it works out that it doesn't chase Bratt out of town. Or if it does... that it's making us land another great player in a trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people might not spend countless hours breaking down prospects, or watching league’s outside of the NHL, but that doesn’t really make them a “casual.” We’re all pretty obsessed if we’re here lol.

That's just me pushing his button desperately trying to get him to at least address that point he 's been ignoring countless times now. It appear like it worked finally.

SterioDesign Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 13 minutes ago, MB3 said: where is the off button on this fvcking wind-up toy? jesus. yes, sample size matters. no, you can't just take his point-per game in those seasons and extrapolate it to 82 GP since there's documented evidence that Jesper Bratt cannot score at a consistent rate over 82 GP. In his two best seasons (first and most recent) he had major, head-scratching, "is this guy even playing?" stretches of absolute incompetence. But even if you give him the benefit of the doubt and say "ah yeah he woulda kept that pace up all year despite the contrary evidence we have at our fingertips", it still shows a guy who's a fringe 50-point scorer with one good season, and I'm not giving that guy $8m per year. I can say that it's fair to say that he wouldn't have necessary hit 53 points in those seasons. But that's what his pace was, which is factual and important to bring up in a discussion when you're trying to establish the value of a player. It's also factual to say that he didn't score more than 35 points in 4 seasons of course, but it's dishonest not to bring up context and that in those season he missed 20 to 30+ games. He got 30, 32, 33 points in those seasons. Do you honestly think that Bratt playing an extra 20 to 30 more games in those 3 seasons couldn't have scored 6, 4 and 3 points? That's just unfair.

Guadana Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Its ok situation. They are talking about one year deal on arbitration. Ot two years deal. And Fitz ofcourse want to down the price. Just imagine how attractive he will be on the 5 mil contract, especially if we will take a part of this deal. You can easily trade him for multiple first rounds and top prospects. Its one side. Other side, I think, Fitz trying to down the price to make the actual one as low as Bratt will want not to sign because he will lose to much money. Its ok prearbitration game.

vadvlfan Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I laugh at twitter Devils fans. How much they're willing to give Bratt? Seriously? He's asking for 6.5, Devils 4.1 yet, they'll give him 7 mil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i also simply asked him how many points he personally thought Bratt would score next season. Pretty basic question. Especially after someone making claims that he did. Still didn't get an answer on that. I'm breathing fine. He's asking people to provide answers for him in order to accept arguing about it. It's the least thing to do to answer questions too then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
