New Jersey Devils: Jesper Bratt Is What Jacob Josefson Should Have Been
Remember the Devils 20th overall selection in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Jacob Josefson? He was everyone’s prediction to be a breakout player each season they had him. Spoiler alert, it never happened.
After seven seasons of not being able to figure out his game, the Devils put him out to pasture where the Buffalo Sabres gave him a second chance.
With the subtraction of Josefson, the Devils had a vacancy for a left-handed, Swedish forward coming into the 2017-18 campaign. The Devils have now entered the era of Jesper Bratt.
