Columbus fan here. I am not going to pretend for a second that Gaudreau was not a shock to the fandom. I have no idea why he wants to be here for the next 7 years but I’m not complaining :D
I literally have been banging the drum to anyone listening that Columbus would be and appealing option for Gaudreau for about a year. Not shocked at all. Was definitely delighted.
I don't think it's Johnny who doesn't like Calgary. I think it's his wife. When he played there she split her time between Calgary and working in a hospital in Philadelphia. When the child is born they have to settle somewhere. I don't think Calgary was ever an option in that regard.
As resident Bolt Fan...Jeff Vinik is LOVED in Tampa. For what he does in the community. For the commitment to putting a winning product on the ice. For the way he let's his HOCKEY PEOPLE (Yzerman and now JBB) RUN THE HOCKEY TEAM. There is a reason why the Lightning are annually ranked as one of the best run franchises in North American sports (ESPN). An NHL team IN TAMPA, FLORIDA out-draws their MLB TEAM by nearly 4-1 and has sold out their home games for going on 5+ years now. Tampa gets little respect because of the market but we know what Jeff Vinik has done for Tampa. He'll be a HoF'er one day.
Why Columbus? Here you go: • Columbus has an excellent paediatric hospital, and his wife is a paediatric nurse. • Gaudreau, coming into Boston College, looked up to Cam Atkinson as a graduating player from BC (that’s why he wears #13). Atkinson was very high on Columbus as a place to live. As far as Columbus being able to sign Laine, that’s easy. I hear that Calgary needs a playmaking winger, and Voracek’s contract is about exactly what Laine wants. Yeah, it might sting for Calgary fans, but it’s actually a very good trade for both teams. Edit: Voracek has no trade restrictions on his contract.
Good for cbj i think johnny might be the most beloved jacket of all time just because he chose them. As for me as a lightning fan, i am going to cry in the corner about losing palat and mcdonagh.
At just before 1 Hour 42 Minutes in near the end when Steve reads the tweet about Ottawa he says the projected top 6 is Tkachuk,Norris........etc. Those first two names said back to back sound like Chuck Norris. The Sens have a f'ing Chuck Norris line on their hands this nickname needs to become a thing ASAP. Tkachuk Norris line sounds so awesome.
Rick nash spent a decade in Columbus. So not sure what you mean by that. Losing him wasn’t bad for that franchise as his play declined and injuries increased once he left for the big apple
Except Voracek is like an acting center on the wing. That's why they got him for Atkinson , he optimized Laine's game ( point per game) and gave Jenner a career year. It's a weid dynamic but it works .
As a Canucks fan, if Demko gets injured, I wouldn't be too worried having Spencer Martin in for our games. He played great in the games he had last season (950 SV), however I will admit it is a small sample size.
And the nice thing about Canucks goaltending is we've got the best goaltending coach in the league. Whoever's in the net, they're going to be positionally strong.
As for the Vegas thing. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but maybe we should have seen it coming after what they did to Shipaychov one month into their existence. It just snowballed from there - Gallant, Fleury, etc...
Torts isn't the reason Bread "hightailed" it out of Cbus tho. Pretty sure he had his eyes on NYR before he ever left Russia. That was always the plan. Which is a big part, why there are zero hard feelings against him in Columbus. We get it.
@@doomguy2337 They don't know the whole story. Every one of those guys who left had their *own* reasons for leaving that had nothing to do with the anyone else's, and it turned into this narrative whereby, oh, something must be wrong with the water. J's right, Panarin had his eyes on the bright lights big city from the moment he set foot on US soil. Bobrovsky had a beef with the FO and also asked for $10M, to which Jarmo rightly said "hell no." Duchene cost too much to acquire and it turns out *CBJ never offered him after the season.* (didn't want to give away the other 1st-rounder, and until this past season Duchene's contract was an absolute albatross, so well done to Jarmo there.) Dubois, we may never know, though the rumor was something was way off in the room (and that thing wasn't Torts). Jones, big question marks, though there's been speculation he left *because* Torts left. And it was clear there were no hard feelings because he notified the team a year in advance, and the return was HUGE. And y'know, the first decade, the org was basically dogs---, so anyone who wanted out before the JD/Jarmo/Torts/Foligno era gets a free pass here. So yeah, it's a lot of guys, but it's a lot of *different stories.* There's no one narrative, except in the eyes of the national media. CBJ just had the giant misfortune to acquire them all in the first place.
These guys should watch the shows on their own channel. Chris Johnston said if toronto didn't get Matt Murray, Ottawa had another trade lined up for him still at 25% retention which is why they couldn't get more.
Just making the playoffs is ultimately enough for this franchise. Things get too hard if you go further in the playoffs, so better to just call it a successful season at that point.
So I'm watching this late, so you may have heard this already. But one of the main reasons why it seems Gaudreau chose Columbus is the same reasons that Tavares chose Toronto and Trouba wanted to go to New York -- their wives for their own work-related reasons wanted to work in the cities they wound up in. I think that's an often overlooked reason why certain players choose to sign with certain teams. It's not always JUST about the best team or the most money, they make decisions with their partners that benefit both their futures. I think all of the reasons you guys talked about as far as the other teams not being clearly ideal situations made the ultimate decision easier.
THANK YOU ADAM! Columbus is a lovely place to live and I'm sick of all the "iMaGiNe LeAvInG fOr OhIo" from people in Canada (and Jersey and New York for that matter). People did the same crap talking about Columbus when Laine arrived. And I would expect some people like Steve or Adam to know better about the scenarios around players staying/leaving. This whole narrative comes from the self-loan when they went all-in on the playoffs with Panarin and Bobrovsky instead of trading them. Panarin would have left CHI also, Bob wanted a stupid contract and we didn't offer it (ask Florida fans now how much they like that contract), and Duchene was always a rental that we never offered a contract. The only one we wanted to keep was Panarin, and he wanted to play exactly in 1 place.
I’m not a blue jackets fan, but I’m a Hawks fan living in Ohio. I think Ohio is underrated and I’m very happy for Columbus fans on this signing! They have a small but passionate fan base and this a great win! And the fact is being reported Gaudreau left money on the table to sign there is amazing and hopefully will send a message to other players that Columbus can be a great place to play!
Philly is right on the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, so Johnny grew up in Salem County which is essentially a suburb of Philly. It's like growing up in Burlington and being a Leafs fan.
Also his wife is from Philadelphia suburbs on the Pennsylvania side. Columbus is only an hour further in travel time than Newark/New York from there (there are direct flights between Philadelphia and Columbus).
What I think is also key with Columbus and their reputation is what Jarmo said: not every player who has left Columbus has been offered a contract. He gets very angry each time the subject of players leaving is brought up.
The reason Chuck Fletcher has a job in the NHL is the exact same as why Jukka Jalonen doesn't. NHL regurgitates the same guys over and over again because of "experience" even when that experience is bad and gets you nowhere.
Whats the matter with the Flyers is that they're basically owned by Comcast and from what everyone in the US says is that comcast is the worst ISP and TV service ever. So I expected that to trickle down to the franchise at some point. Now that has finally happened. Johnny's move is basically the same reason why Trouba wanted to move to NY. Wife is in the medical field and from what Columbus residents have said they have a really good hospital that does a bunch of research and such. Guy probably moved because Wife got a good job offer from somewhere in columbus
I have it and don't mind it. Besides everyone hates their ISP, I know people who have Centurylink the other main one in my area and hate it. So I have never heard a phone or cable or internet provider go unhated they are all hated here in the US.
So….guy gets a 70 million dollar contract but turns down 15 million more because the wife needs to work at a specific hospital in Columbus for 80K? Can you imagine coming home and telling your wife “honey we are going to a place where you will STILL be able to work!! And I turned down an extra $15 million becuz of you honey!!!”
21:40 - Not to “actually” anyone, but actually, the Jackets had the worst possible thing happen with their goalies, as their #3 guy going into camp got hit by exploding fireworks right in front of their #1 guy. Who then suffered from PTSD flashbacks partway into the season because every time the Jackets scored a goal *they shot a cannon off*! That’s the worst-case scenario.
The winters are brutal in Ohio but the 3 other seasons are amazing and it’s not that expensive to live here plus we have hocking hills jeni’s ice cream cedar point kings island kalihari and a whole lot of stuff to do besides that welcome to Ohio Johnny
@@happytrails151 He would be the highest paid D in the league, for sure. If he was UFA this year and went to market and set his eyes on money only, I honestly believe he would get close to Macdavid money.
The Pacioretty deal just kinda felt like the Canes walked by a busy Vegas cleaning his garage for the winter, and when Vegas saw Carolina pass by, he went "Here, hold thisfor a sec" whilst giving a HUGE box of stuff, just to make room in the garage, and never bothered to come back and get it... so Carolina just... walked away with the box. Carolina would've figured Vegas would call back to get the box again, but he never did, so... I guess it's Carolina's box now?
Johnny definitely wanted to go to a quieter market where hockey isn’t the main sports market closer to home. He most likely didn’t wanna start a family in a big Canadian market with lots of attention. He is more reserved and likes to be with his family and likes his privacy. All the best to him it was his decision. From a flames fan
Pretty sure LTIR does not apply in the off season, so that would not have helped Philly with Johnny. Not buying out or moving JVR though is kind of nuts.
As a lifelong Midwesterner, I feel like I need to clear the record here. MOST of the people hating aren’t hating on Columbus itself, but rather the state of Ohio. It’s a cultural thing that I couldn’t expect Canadians to just get right away. Ohio isn’t real, it doesn’t exist. It’s nothing against the Blue Jackets or Columbus fans, I’m really happy for them. I just don’t see why anyone would willingly go to the state of Ohio- if it even exists, still not sure.
I was born and raised and still live in Ohio. It’s got problems like any place, but it’s underrated in my opinion. Columbus in particular is actually a nice city, I’ve been there for a Blue Jackets game even though I’m a Hawks fan and I’ve been there for a few concerts. OSU is one of the biggest universities in the country, especially as far as college sports goes. I’m happy Gaudreau signed there! Maybe this’ll give Columbus the credit it deserves and more big name players will follow!
Panarin hightailed it out of Columbus because of Torts? I like how they speak so confidently about things they dont understand. Panarin chose Chicago, he came from a poor area in Russia and had dreams of big cities. He was then traded to Columbus, worked his ass off and did everything asked of him and then some. His contract expired and he had his sights set on the bright lights of NY and was well within his rights to sign there. The only difference is his agent did a better job creating a bidding war
The blue Jackets can sign Laine and Kadri for 9 million aav each by shipping out Nyqvist and Voracek and still be 1 million under the cap with a lot of depth.
As a Caps season ticket holder, I can tell you that Samsonov wasn't great, but the Caps played horrible in front of him. They have a habit of playing shitty in front of their starter and doing a good job in front of the backup. With that said, great pickup for the Leafs
Salem NJ is a suburb of Philly, or at least "greater Philly". It's like being from Holl, QB, and people being shocked that your team was Ottawa and not Montreal.
Malgin going back home and lighting up the Swiss league was a great decision for the guy, I'm hoping he can step up his game a couple notches this season
The talking point that Campbell only had "one bad month" with the Leafs is revisionist history at its finest. The reality is Campbell had one stellar month for the team that had him in the Vezina conversation, then had a sub .900 save percentage every other month of the season, including the playoffs. That doesn't mean he's going to be as bad as his worst in Edmonton, nor is he likely to be as good as his best. Fact is the Leafs needed to decide whether Campbell would be healthy and consistent enough to warrant the payday he got and they decided that gamble was too dangerous.
Also, the leafs had major inconsistancies defensively last year and only stabilized after they added Gio. Turns out that's when Campbell started getting better around the same time.
I’m no leaf’s fan tho I love to see my country’s teams in the playoffs BUT - wasn’t this the same conversation before they signed Campbell? He was mediocre in some months but he DID give them a chance. And from the past cup champs; you need STEADY goaltending not GREAT (kuemper here) ….. this is a easy answer but it’ll go two ways. Really good. Or really really bad lol ….. but enjoy the season leaf fans! Good luck!!!
Actually, Campbell was stellar for the first 3 months to the beginning of January and then split roughly 50/50 for the remaining 26 games he started between good and bad. In the middle of the season, the Oilers looked like the worst team in the league. They sorted that out just fine. Murray is a risk for the Leafs and Campbell is a risk for the Oilers. I have no worries about Campbell being a disaster. The concern for Murray isn't that he can still play, but if he can stay healthy.
To be honest, Steve "qu'est-ce que c'est" was very appropriate. In quebec french we often say "quessé ça" instead, which is exactly the feeling that steve wanted to convey regarding the mess with the Flyers :P
montreal turned patches into tatar, suzuki and norlinder also turned weise and fleishman (spelled wrong) who they both signed as a PTO for danault and romanov which they turned into kirby dach lol...
Out of all the teams mentioned, which one would he have the least amount of pressure to perform? I think that was the biggest factor on him signing with the Blue Jackets.
Nobody is mentioning this. He left the media heavy pressure of Canada. Had no desire to be close to home n be the focal point of a team. Nobody will care or bother him in Columbus but he has to have realized he's never gonna win a cup there.
@@DonMaximo how many people said Ovi isn't winning any cups in the years before 2018? A lot of people. Who knows, maybe Columbus is a powerhouse in 3 years.
Maybe consider telling hockey audience what the penalties are for remaining over the salary cap, year after year. That way, not only players, but fans get an idea as to why you have to release those players that continually demanded higher and higher salaries,and even those who do perform.
Dallas has both Oettinger and Robertson still unsigned at RFA and only 13M in Cap left. If either of them get a big offer sheet things get difficult quick.
I could honestly see the flames tank for bedard as well... here is why... the majority of the team has another year after this. So if they get bedard they could go for it the year after.
Sportsnet has the tv deal for NHL coverage but yet has the worst coverage of the NHL, TSN has always done it right. I didn't grow up watching Sportsnet trade deadline/ free agent shows, I grew up watching TSN.
I just learned about the wheels when waiting to make a left turn thing However, I don’t have the license and I never took the written test for a permit nor the road test to get a license. So, at least I don’t have a license to lose? 😅
Steve Adam and Jessie I would love to pick your brains to see what the leafs line up looks like next season and what possible trades would you make maybe do a lengthy pod cast on this topic
Adam is SEVERELY underrating the Devils. They went the entire segment without mentioning Jesper Bratt, who is only 23 and put up 73 points last season.
Columbus fan here. I am not going to pretend for a second that Gaudreau was not a shock to the fandom. I have no idea why he wants to be here for the next 7 years but I’m not complaining :D
No one wants to be in Columbus. Say goodbye to Laine.
The chili chant finally pays dividends
I literally have been banging the drum to anyone listening that Columbus would be and appealing option for Gaudreau for about a year. Not shocked at all. Was definitely delighted.
LOVE how the start was more about ripping the incompetent flyers... lol
Adam was so incredibly pleased with himself with the Lightning are crackling joke that was lost on the other two.
The Flyers make the Coyotes look like a well-oiled operation
As a die hard hawks fan it's nice I can smile about this because I know whats coming! Congrats to Columbus on getting Gaudreau 👏👏
Thanks for sticking up for us Adam. There's been so much hate on Columbus the city and the organization and its getting old 😕
They are one of those teams if you sleep on they will get you. I don't think people are truly paying attention to them
I don't think it's Johnny who doesn't like Calgary. I think it's his wife. When he played there she split her time between Calgary and working in a hospital in Philadelphia. When the child is born they have to settle somewhere. I don't think Calgary was ever an option in that regard.
Saw the show title, I know exactly where this is going and the Flyers fan in me is thrilled.
Absolutely🔥 episode fellas. "& Max Pacioretty who you gave up Nick fxxking Suzuki for, for NOTHING! YOU STINK" 😂😂😂
Best bergevin trade of all for sure
I have seen the best interest rates only at staking sites with Cross Staking technology, Cross Staking for example
Nice!
As resident Bolt Fan...Jeff Vinik is LOVED in Tampa. For what he does in the community. For the commitment to putting a winning product on the ice. For the way he let's his HOCKEY PEOPLE (Yzerman and now JBB) RUN THE HOCKEY TEAM.

Boone Jenner is a center? A pretty decent one too. And Panarin left and he stated several times, it was his dream to play at MSG and with the Rangers.

Lol, the Sens are on fire right now. Another awesome signing
They record this in the morning. Then Jesse needs to edit it and post it. I think they have another pod tomorrow.

Lol, CJ Show probably wasn't out when this podcast was recorded
He at 1:33:55 says about CJ 'they have a show coming out today' so that confirms that this was recorded before that came out
The leafs need .900 goaltending to make the playoffs but they need alot better than that if they are going to go anywhere in the playoffs
Yeah they’re essentially saying Matthews, Marner, Bunting, Kampf etc all have to have career years again that’s not a recipe for a cup contender.

As a lifelong Midwesterner, I feel like I need to clear the record here. MOST of the people hating aren’t hating on Columbus itself, but rather the state of Ohio. It’s a cultural thing that I couldn’t expect Canadians to just get right away. Ohio isn’t real, it doesn’t exist.
It’s nothing against the Blue Jackets or Columbus fans, I’m really happy for them. I just don’t see why anyone would willingly go to the state of Ohio- if it even exists, still not sure.
It's not surprising once you start hearing his reasons. It was surprising as all hell before hearing them though.
CBJ will try their best to sign Laine, then trade players such as Nyquist, Voracek, Bjorkstrand, or Texier. I see Nyquist as the most likely to move.
Former Leafs on the Oilers this year:
Zach Hyman
Jack Campbell
Tyson Barrie
Cody Ceci
Calvin Pickard
Greg Mckegg
next cup winners right there
Do the bottom 4 even really count. They are basically journeymen at this point.
Pour quoi le phoque is one of the best lines on this show
Tell me you don't know what osu is without telling me you don't know what osu is:
"Columbus is a great university town."
Mennel is a Vancouver giants legend. Great story.
I was born and raised and still live in Ohio. It’s got problems like any place, but it’s underrated in my opinion. Columbus in particular is actually a nice city, I’ve been there for a Blue Jackets game even though I’m a Hawks fan and I’ve been there for a few concerts. OSU is one of the biggest universities in the country, especially as far as college sports goes. I’m happy Gaudreau signed there! Maybe this’ll give Columbus the credit it deserves and more big name players will follow!
As a flyers fan steve verbalizes my frustration better for me than i do
Panarin hightailed it out of Columbus because of Torts? I like how they speak so confidently about things they dont understand. Panarin chose Chicago, he came from a poor area in Russia and had dreams of big cities. He was then traded to Columbus, worked his ass off and did everything asked of him and then some. His contract expired and he had his sights set on the bright lights of NY and was well within his rights to sign there. The only difference is his agent did a better job creating a bidding war
Guys please get Charlie o Connor on to talk about the Flyers, he's a fantastic reporter
The blue Jackets can sign Laine and Kadri for 9 million aav each by shipping out Nyqvist and Voracek and still be 1 million under the cap with a lot of depth.
As a Caps season ticket holder, I can tell you that Samsonov wasn't great, but the Caps played horrible in front of him. They have a habit of playing shitty in front of their starter and doing a good job in front of the backup. With that said, great pickup for the Leafs
Why does everyone always forget kent johnson when talking about columbus
Why does everyone always forget kent johnson when talking about columbus
umm.... okay, sort of like having Tuch on Vegas' 3rd line, M Tkachuk on 3rd line but the option for him is, he gets to select his linemates.
Salem NJ is a suburb of Philly, or at least "greater Philly". It's like being from Holl, QB, and people being shocked that your team was Ottawa and not Montreal.
And his wife is from a Pennsylvania side Philadelphia suburb.
I believe you meant Hull
@@RandomPlaceHolderName 100%... I'm on mobile and apparently I use Holl more than Hull....
Pacioretti and Coglan for a bag of pucks and a bucket of Poutine ? No to rich ? OK call it future considerations ? phew thanks .
I wonder if Adam would say the same thing to Islanders fans when Tavares left. I bet he doesn't have the cajones to do that lol.
Malgin going back home and lighting up the Swiss league was a great decision for the guy, I'm hoping he can step up his game a couple notches this season
lol aerostar minivan... adam just cracks me up
The talking point that Campbell only had "one bad month" with the Leafs is revisionist history at its finest. The reality is Campbell had one stellar month for the team that had him in the Vezina conversation, then had a sub .900 save percentage every other month of the season, including the playoffs. That doesn't mean he's going to be as bad as his worst in Edmonton, nor is he likely to be as good as his best. Fact is the Leafs needed to decide whether Campbell would be healthy and consistent enough to warrant the payday he got and they decided that gamble was too dangerous.
So they got a worse less healthy goalie for nearly the same dollars? This teams window has been shut since dubas took over.
Also, the leafs had major inconsistancies defensively last year and only stabilized after they added Gio. Turns out that's when Campbell started getting better around the same time.
@@B2Roland Same dollars but 2 years rather than 5. If Murray or Samsonov don't work out, TOR will have a new goalie at the deadline.
I’m no leaf’s fan tho I love to see my country’s teams in the playoffs BUT - wasn’t this the same conversation before they signed Campbell? He was mediocre in some months but he DID give them a chance. And from the past cup champs; you need STEADY goaltending not GREAT (kuemper here) ….. this is a easy answer but it’ll go two ways. Really good. Or really really bad lol ….. but enjoy the season leaf fans! Good luck!!!
Actually, Campbell was stellar for the first 3 months to the beginning of January and then split roughly 50/50 for the remaining 26 games he started between good and bad.
In the middle of the season, the Oilers looked like the worst team in the league. They sorted that out just fine.
Murray is a risk for the Leafs and Campbell is a risk for the Oilers. I have no worries about Campbell being a disaster. The concern for Murray isn't that he can still play, but if he can stay healthy.
To be honest, Steve "qu'est-ce que c'est" was very appropriate. In quebec french we often say "quessé ça" instead, which is exactly the feeling that steve wanted to convey regarding the mess with the Flyers :P
montreal turned patches into tatar, suzuki and norlinder
also turned weise and fleishman (spelled wrong) who they both signed as a PTO for danault and romanov which they turned into kirby dach
lol...
New Jersey income tax is nearly 9% at $500K+. Ohio caps at 4.8%. Jonny takes home more in Columbus.
i see kent johnson as like a center version of gaudreu, interested to see how they play together
Someone has to clip Adam saying Campbell is a bigger bet than Murray and Samsonov I laughed out loud
Out of all the teams mentioned, which one would he have the least amount of pressure to perform? I think that was the biggest factor on him signing with the Blue Jackets.
Nobody is mentioning this.
He left the media heavy pressure of Canada. Had no desire to be close to home n be the focal point of a team.
Nobody will care or bother him in Columbus but he has to have realized he's never gonna win a cup there.
@@DonMaximo how many people said Ovi isn't winning any cups in the years before 2018? A lot of people. Who knows, maybe Columbus is a powerhouse in 3 years.
Lol what are you guys talking about Buffalo for 😂
Mr Dangle you asked a rhetorical, if you enter the intersection with oncoming traffic, even with your wheels pointed straight.
With all the signings that happened its crazy how Ottawa also got Cam Talbot lol
Gaudreau will also be able to spend more time with family as he won’t be playing in late spring
Maybe consider telling hockey audience what the penalties are for remaining over the salary cap, year after year. That way, not only players, but fans get an idea as to why you have to release those players that continually demanded higher and higher salaries,and even those who do perform.
Calling it rn Travis Konecny is going to get traded to Toronto. Don't ask me how but I feel like it's coming... maybe Kerfoot, Robertson and a 3rd
Oh my god please, That guy would be perfect
Dallas has both Oettinger and Robertson still unsigned at RFA and only 13M in Cap left. If either of them get a big offer sheet things get difficult quick.
I could honestly see the flames tank for bedard as well... here is why... the majority of the team has another year after this. So if they get bedard they could go for it the year after.
I had no idea I have such strong opinions about Columbus? Today I learned something new about myself as an American...
What do you 3 maple leafs fans think of them moving a defenceman after benn and mete deals
Bro Columbus is gonna be fun to watch, anyone hating is cringe af
Dallas isn't in the Pacific lol.
The Golden knights projected cap space according to cap Friendly is negative $1,394,643
Sportsnet has the tv deal for NHL coverage but yet has the worst coverage of the NHL, TSN has always done it right. I didn't grow up watching Sportsnet trade deadline/ free agent shows, I grew up watching TSN.
I just learned about the wheels when waiting to make a left turn thing
However, I don’t have the license and I never took the written test for a permit nor the road test to get a license. So, at least I don’t have a license to lose? 😅
Steve Adam and Jessie I would love to pick your brains to see what the leafs line up looks like next season and what possible trades would you make maybe do a lengthy pod cast on this topic
Considering the Chicago situation, I understand why Dubai wants to get guys who he knows are good people off the ice
Adam is SEVERELY underrating the Devils. They went the entire segment without mentioning Jesper Bratt, who is only 23 and put up 73 points last season.
