gold star for USAHOF

38. Jesper Bratt

38. Jesper Bratt

Jesper Brett 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, but was so impressive in Devils training camp that he made the roster and shockingly was an NHL player as a teenager despite being drafted so low.

Bratt scored a respectable 35 Points as a rookie, but his progression stalled in the three seasons after as his production stayed at the same level over the next three seasons.  He broke out in 2021/22 with a 73-Point campaign, which he duplicated the year after, albeit with a higher Goal tally (32). 

Bratt is a future Point-per-Game player and All-Star and could be a top ten all-time Devil.
