In his 1st pro season Jeremy Bracco is fired up and ready to push for a spot. It will be a daunting task with virtually no room left at the inn but he is not discouraged in the least.

More from NHL.com – “NHL.com is providing in-depth roster, prospect and fantasy analysis for each of its 31 teams throughout August. Today, the Toronto Maple Leafs.”

“The Toronto Maple Leafs have one of the deepest group of prospects in the NHL. Several young players could be ready to make the jump to the NHL this season, but there will not be enough roster spots for everyone on a team that returns seven players 23 or younger who played in more than 20 games last season” See NHL.com Top 5 Leafs Prospects: https://www.nhl.com/news/toronto-maple-leafs-prospect-watch/c-290753234?tid=290471364
