Bracco was once one of the Leafs' top prospects after scoring 79 points in 75 AHL games. However, he never got the call up to the NHL and after having his contract with the Leafs expire, he went overseas to find work.

He has since played in the Finnish LIIGA, the German DEL, and spent last season with Barys Astana of the KHL, a Khzakstani side.

He may be making a return to North America and could potentially get back to earning an NHL contract and potentially playing in his first NHL game.
