Keeping Jeremy Bracco and Nic Petan off the NHL roster is hard to do based on their development at the AHL level. However, with an offensively loaded Leafs team, Bracco and Petan will likely need to force the team’s hand to gain a regular spot in the lineup.
Top 5 prospects:
1 – Jeremy Bracco
2 – Nick Robertson
3 – Dmytro Timashov
4 – Justin Brazeau
5 – Pierre Engvall
With an array of additions to both the NHL roster and prospect pool, the Leafs will have a lot of experimenting to do this season to best utilize the skill sets that each new player brings to the table.
Fortunately, the organization’s resourcefulness this offseason has given them a lot of talent to work with for both now and the future.
