What are Devils fans saying about the Jesper Bratt contract?
Ridiculous contract. Jasper Bratt is a checking forward and the team is making massive commitments to him?? This is a time where we need a TRUE first line center not this
That is way too much money for Bratt. Not the greatest signing by Fitzgerald.
He better show up in the playoffs with this type of contract!
