Jesper Bratt was a steal for the New Jersey Devils, who only had to use a Sixth Round pick in 2016 to grab the Swedish Wing. He signed with New Jersey a year later and was expected to join the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. However, he was so impressive in the Devils' training camp that he made the roster and, shockingly, became an NHL player as a teenager despite being drafted so low.
Bratt scored a respectable 35 Points as a rookie, but his progression stalled over the next three seasons, as his production remained at the same level. He broke out in 2021/22 with a 73-Point campaign, which he duplicated the year after, albeit with a higher Goal tally (32). Two years ago, he broke the 80-point mark for the first time, was New Jersey's leading scorer, and went to his first All-Star Game. Last season, Bratt had his career-best in Points with 88.
Bratt is a future Point-per-Game player and All-Star, and could be a top ten all-time Devil.
