Jesper Bratt gets himself a huge payday
Jesper Bratt led the New Jersey Devils in scoring last season. The 24-year-old Bratt put up 73 points in 76 games while playing on multiple lines with multiple linemates. Luckily for Bratt he had the best season of his career in a contract year.
Bratt just completed a 2-year deal with an average annual value of $2,750,000. Bratt had filed for arbitration after not being able to come to terms with the Devils.
Today though the Devils announced they'd avoided arbitration with Bratt.
