Jesper Bratt is going to personally have to deal with the same thing the franchise as a whole will endure coming into this season — heightened expectations. In the 2017-18 season, no one expected much of the Devils and even fewer expected anything from Jesper Bratt. Therefore, the Devils getting ousted in 5 games against the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning was fine because we were playing with house money anyway at that point. Everything we got other than the playoffs was gravy on top. Similarly, Bratt had likely done enough in the first half of the season to automatically earn a roster spot this coming year, but he too had a very weak finish, getting healthy scratched in 4 of the 5 playoff games.
