“I’m pencilling him in on Matthews’ wing next year.”
Who said that last summer about Jeremy Bracco? A lot of people, actually, and even more thought it, or if they didn’t have their pencils out, they could at least imagine it as possible. It wasn’t a radical thought. But the opposite take — that Bracco has one trick, and even if he is really good at it, it isn’t enough — wasn’t radical either. There were a lot of people who agreed with both takes to some varying degree of strength.
That was then, and now, after a year where the only direction Jeremy Bracco took a step was right off the Marlies, everyone has flipped the pencil around to erase their hopes for this once-valued prospect.
