Testing the waters on Bratt

Description
Don't get me wrong, I like the player but he's off to a terrible start this year and has been benched yet again. This is becoming a bit of a pattern. There's no doubt he has a ton of skill but when he's not producing offence he isn't giving you much else and he hasn't been doing it this year (he's not the only one but nevertheless). He's an exciting player at times but I'm starting to think maybe NJ isn't the best spot for him.

What could he fetch on the trade market do you think? Could you package him with a few other assets for a star?

I disagree I think NJ is the right spot for him he is not the only player on the team not playing well and it has only been 5 games where he has looked good at times they need to find the right lines and then keep them together so they can get some chemistry’s. Most of the teams struggles so far has been Ruff he is constantly changing lines so there is no chemistry’s he challenged a goal on the other game that was so dumb it was the dumbest challenge I have ever seen and the system he is using doesn’t work

He had really, really bad night last night. Especially in 1st period. He had a couple brutal giveaways, lost the puck a few times in his feet, and generally looked like a deer-in-the-headlights every time the puck came to him. Three of his mistakes led to Calgary goals in the 1st period and he was benched in 2nd period. He returned in 3rd and played a lot better. Hopefully he has turned a corner.

I'm big on Tank, was hoping NJ would trade for him this offseason. I would probably want a pick or something coming back though given the age difference and Tara's injury history

That's fair I just think we've seen him get bunched by numerous coaches and fail to reach his potential, we were hoping he'd be closer to a 60 point player by now. Yeah most of the team has been bad and that was a garbage challenge lol

yeah that 2nd Mangiapane goal was just a dreadful turnover, the whole team has looked inept offensively since Hughes went down but Bratt and Sharangovich more so than anyone else. Hoping things turn around here but it's not looking great.

I rather keep him
He is struggling to start the year but hopefully he can gain some confidence and turn it around

IF the Devils were to trade him, package him with Foote, Boqvist, and 2023 protected first for Marner

We are 6 games into the season!
We have watch this team be much worse for much longer! The team is dinged up and it happened as the season started. Get a couple of the regulars bsck and see where we are. This team has tremendous depth I don't think a bunch if panic moves helps. What would you get for Bratt playing his worst hockey, not a time to sell on him.

I'm not saying to trade him tomorrow, just exploring possibilities
