Buffalo Trades
Ristolainen

Toronto Trades
Kerfoot
Dermott
Bracco (AHL)

I truly see a fit with Ristolainen or another RHanded shooting Defenceman from Buffalo, and these 3 players I see as trade bait to land one..

Thoughts ?

How is Bracco even a trade chip anymore? He had four goals. He is junk. He isn't even worth anything as a throw-in. He's a contract that can be moved in a trade to help facilitate the deal so contracts are even, but he has absolute no value. By including him in this trade, Buffalo takes three contracts and Leafs only take one. Buffalo will tell you to keep him. They don't want him. They have enough tweeners and AHL lifers. If Leafs want to dump Bracco now they have to be prepared to take another teams crap project player back too in order to even contracts out.

St. Louisfan Bracco would be Rochester's second leading scorer, he is a prospect the only problem is he plays RWing on a Team loaded at RWing, so to say he isn't a prospect doesn't make sense at all, Buffalo is weak at Centre after Eichel, Kerfoot slots into 2nd line Centre, Buffalo is strong on RDefence and after Dahlin and McCabe weak on LDefence and Dermott makes the Left side stronger, and you add Bracco who will make Buffalo this trade makes sense for both and when Dermott is resigned the Cap difference is pretty much even.

Bracco has top 6 potential but the problem is he can not play in the bottom 6 because he is like the worst of the worst defensively like Alexander Semin bad he is an ELITE playmaker and hockey IQ guy he has the vision equivalent to players like Kane, Backstrom, Marner, Etc another knock on him Is for an all out 1 dimensional player he lacks an top end shot or the elite skating expected for a player his size. He was compared to Johnny Guadreau when he was drafted and he basically is him but without the skating abilities. He hasn’t gotten a shot on Toronto because the leafs have Marner, Nylander, Kappanen, Mikheyev ( natural RW ) and Formally Leivo ahead of him on the depth chart. But I agree at this point his value isn’t much i'd give him away at this point. Calgary or Ottawa could use him. Any AHL team would love him and he’d really excel in Europe. I’d say him and Ho-Sang are similar valued players.

Bracco is 23 years old, almost 24. So I guess technically he is still a prospect. Prospects are no longer considered prospects after either 25 years of age or 50 games played right? That seems to be the average I read anyway. So Bracco is technically still a prospect. Just no longer a good one.

He also got passed over by Engvall, Marchment, Korshkov, Timashov, and Brooks. Neither Babcock or Keefe (who would be very familiar with what Bracco can do) bothered to try him on the big team. Technically the call is the GM's, but coaches have a lot of say on who makes the roster, simply because they have the final say on who actually plays on the ice each night. Of Keefe had endorsed Bracco he would have been playing already.

No he couldn’t have been playing because he’s a top 6 RW not a bottom 6 player they won’t demote marner or Nylander for Bracco.

A top 6 player? Bracco? Now that's jokes. Maybe the guys from the Peg aren't the only delusional ones on here.

Smaller players that lack high end skating and shooting are not top 6 players in the NHL.

If you're not good enough defensively to play in the bottom 6, you're not a good enough player to play in the top 6. If bracco could pass like kane, they would have brought him up, even just for power play time to increase his trade value.
