Man I really like Bratt, but at that cost and with that contract just a bit too much. If he signs under Cozens and Thompson I would be in

I doubt the Buffalo backup is worth a 2nd. Jake Allen is more proven and went for a 3rd. Goalies rarely return value.

Uhh Jesper Bratt at his best is at least as good as Tage. Better possession numbers and worse finishing but ultimately similar in value. Getting him for Peterka and a 1st is never happening but if Adams could and pay him less than Skinner Id buy his Jersey. To be clear, I mean Kevyn Adams' jersey.

He still has potential imo. If a team with multiple 2nds takes a flyer on him, not a bad idea

It probably will, but it doesn't mean he wants out. They couldn't find a dollar amount that made sense at the time. The Sabres bridged Dahlin, doesn't mean he wants out or they want to move him.

UPL doesn't hold much value. The best we could do is trade him for a 20-22 year old D prospect. I'd rather just keep him in Rochester and see what he can become

His agent is just like that. His previous contract negotiation lasted until camp had already started.

Devils decline. They only trade Bratt if negotiations go poorly and they only trade him for a similar impact winger. Even if they were interested in a package, this is not enough. In terms of value, think somewhere in the realm of the DeBrincat and Meier trades. UPL is not of interest.

Still wouldn’t do a 25 2nd, he’s been ahl level maybe. Quite a steep price to pay
