Thread: Bratt for Necas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>you've went from 2 years to 1 year, to 7 months, and all 3 are wrong

Jesper bratt is 24 years and 305 days old.
necas is 24 years and 136 days old.
169 days, or 5 months and some days.
Less than half a year gap. THEY ARE THE SAME AGE.

If necas was a true center he'd have taken the 2C role considering his competition for that spot is a clear 3C in jesperi kotkaniemi.

Faster=/= better. Especially when jesper bratt is also a top tier skater.

Jesper bratt is the BETTER player.</div></div>

July to late January is 7 months.

Bratt is a worse skater, has minimally better production playing with better players, is older, and Necas will make ~ 4 million less. Necas is the MORE VALUABLE player. Deal with it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Bratt has great speed.

Basic stats show bratt as better. (more points goals, and significantly more even strength production)
Basic analytics show bratt as better (better on ice xgoals%, as well as the devils being better with <a href="https://moneypuck.com/player.htm?p=8479407" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">better with bratt on the ice</a> and carolina being better <a href="https://moneypuck.com/player.htm?p=8480039" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">with necas off the ice</a>)
The advanced analytics say it isn't even close, with bratt having seasons of 20 and 24 xGAR, (7.6 combined xWar), and necas last 2 seasons of -3.4 and 8.6 xGAR (0.9 combined WAR).</div></div>

Bratt has great speed, Necas is the fastest skater in the NHL.

Necas is a year younger, can play a more valuable position and makes a projected 4 million bucks less... stop it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dnoe51</b></div><div>Rob became head coach for the 2018-19 season where necas played 7 games. In 2017-18 necas played 1 game under Peters. You can’t use a 8 game sample to say he played center in the NHL. please look stuff up before saying it. Necas is not a center in the NHL. Not saying he won’t become one but you can’t say he has the value of a center based on 8 games.</div></div>

I knew it was only 8 games, but that is enough to say he played C in the NHL. Not to mention, he did it when the team was covid affected to great effect last year. He's done it several times this year. He doesn't show there on the lineup card, but he played a significant amount of time down the middle. Please look stuff up before saying it.

If you want to ask where, go look at Moneypuck's lines, Necas played C this year a fair bit
