Bratt will still be a RFA if he's on a one-year deal. At any rate, maybe this thing gets hammered out last-second, but looks like this is indeed headed to arbitration. I'll admit it, I really did think some 5-6 year compromise was going to happen. Doesn't feel like that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just worry about his agent and his history. Another ppg season and what is that guy looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't feel like that anymore. So he has to wait two years before taking his huge deal to leave instead of one. Pretty much still the same. He doesn’t want a long term deal here, so this is what we’re doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the issue...we all like to THINK he can do this again, based on what we saw, but we need real proof. And with the Devils still having another year of RFA control, they're in the position to say "Prove it". This is one of those times I can really see both sides' point, but I'm not against the Devils taking this stance. Especially when there will be another round of signings coming in a few years.

mfitz804 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 From the press release: “The breakdown is a two-way deal in 2022-23 worth $750,000 at the NHL level and $175,000 in the AHL, and a one-way deal in 2023-24 worth $775,000”. I assume the second year being one-way is what got the deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) He is not a good source, but still. may be this time it will work. Hope they will sign 1 year or 7-8 years deals.

He’ll sign another 1 year deal and then he’s free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would believe Jesper Bratt over him on the subject of Jesper Bratt’s contract. That said, Seravalli called it a guess, so who knows if it’s based on any actual information and whether being a good source is even relevant.

Devilsfan118 Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 1 year deal is probably the second-to-worst case scenario for us imo. 2-year deal walks home to UFA, so that's the worst of all. But if he has another solid season he's going to get the bag. And I don't think Bratt at 8M+ for term is at all smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me pause as to whether Luke would be better off in the AHL than staying there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
