Both Jeremy Bracco and J.J. Piccinich are playing for contracts this year, but whether those deals will be for the AHL or NHL remains unknown.
For his part, Bracco hasn’t heard anything about contracts yet from Leaf management:
“Nope, none yet. Lou and I haven’t got to that. Just focusing on what I need to do to make the club. ... In the end, I’ve got to be better.”
With 18 points in his first 21 games as a Windsor Spitfire, Bracco has been producing points at a fair clip, but nothing like the 51 points in 27 games he had with the Kitchener Rangers before being traded earlier this year.
