  4. He and his agent are being so fucking difficult. Bratt can go away at this point 🤷‍♂️

  5. Maybe he thinks his negotiating position is weaker due to his completely invisible playoff performance. Like I swear I barely even noticed he was on the ice most of the time.

    Compare that to McLoeds unbelievable playoff performance

  6. Sounds like a bridge.

    A bridge to UFA.

    I’d be fine moving him early and opening up an opportunity for Holtz or Clarke to get the playing time they need. Meier shouldnt be playing 3rd line.

  7. Someone’s waiting to see how much the salary cap increases after this offseason.

  9. Man, people are reading way into this. He is literally saying he wants to stay. I say who cares if it isn’t long term? He could hit UFA after this deal and still re-sign. Ya never know!

  11. He knows he lost millions and all his leverage with that disappearing act in the playoffs.

  12. I think he looked better the last game tbh. He was making more efforts to drive to the net and shooting.

    To me if we can lock him down long term now when his value is a little less than it was after his great start I would go for it definitely.

    He’s a driven player and he’s likely going to improve…especially in the playoffs. I think its way to quick to write him off.

    But his agent is fucking annoying

  13. People that don’t want to resign Bratt or think we should trade him are out of their goddamn minds. You don’t judge a player by 12 of 13 playoff games he’s played in his entire career. I swear this sub and it’s recency bias is insane sometimes.

  14. Can we realistically sign Bratt and Meier to large contracts without tanking the rest of the lineup?

  17. Good for him. Id be happy to have him back. I know some of you are thinking hes alluding to a bridge deal and I think that overthinking the quote but tbh that would be best case scenario.

  18. Thank fuck. Bratt is rightfully in the hot seat, despite making some good passes that didn’t get finished, but I believe in this dude.

    He is a very smart player, he will grow from this. If he wants 3-4 year deal, I’d say ok 2 more runs with Bratt and we’ll see where we are. Then 2 more years to move him.

  19. Great news. Bratt we want you to stay he’s part of the core 5 we have (Nico Jack Bratt Timo and Mercer)

    Totally trust Fitz to make it happen

  21. Considering his agent I cannot imagine he made this statement without running it by his agent so this feels very positive to me . It’s just as much a signal to the org as to how they plan to approach negotiations moving forward this year

  22. I think it would be absurd to move on from a 24 yr old that’s put up back to back 70+ point season based on a span of 12 playoff games.

  23. Zach Parise said the same thing similar after 2012. I’m not setting myself up for disappointment this time.

  24. Fitzy about to get us that ” total post season ghost” discount on bratter

  26. No, the Parise situation still hurts. I don’t believe until the ink is dry.
