Devils Daily: Jesper Bratt Snubbed; Former Ranger Clears Air
It seems more and more these days that New Jersey Devils forward Jesper Bratt flies so far under the radar. So much so that the Swedish forward is left off of top winger rankings.
Bratt was certainly snubbed yesterday. More on why in the links below.
Plus, some news regarding the Devils’ assistant GM. He’s staying put, but he was nearly in line for a top job with the Edmonton Oilers.
Elsewhere, Sidney Crosby and the Habs? All signs point to a Mikko Rantanen extension. And, a former New York Rangers defenseman clears the air.
Let’s do that hockey.
