Coming off of a season where he finished second in AHL scoring with 22 goals and 57 assists, Jeremy Bracco may finally have an opportunity to crack a roster spot with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Those who have been following Bracco’s career with the Toronto Marlies know that one of the major reasons why he has not been given the chance to play in the NHL is because of the depth the Leafs currently have on the right wing position.
With a fully healthy roster, Marner, Nylander, and Kapanen have secured their spots on the top three lines for the right side, but after reports on Sunday revealed that Mitch Marner would be out for at least four weeks with an ankle injury, a major opportunity has opened for Bracco.
