Jeremy Bracco Clears Unconditional Waivers

January 27, 2021 at 11:02 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 11 Comments

Jan 27: Bracco has cleared waivers and had his contract terminated, according to CapFriendly.

Jan 26: After clearing waivers earlier this month, Jeremy Bracco finds himself there again. The Carolina Hurricanes’ forward has been loaned to KalPa in Finland for the rest of the season, while also being placed on unconditional waivers according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Should a contract termination follow, the young forward would be an unrestricted free agent once again.

Bracco, 23, has dominated the AHL at times, including a 79-point season in 2018-19 that seemed destined to earn him a call-up with the Toronto Maple Leafs. When an NHL debut never came and the Maple Leafs decided not to issue him a qualifying offer, Bracco was a free agent looking for work. He ended up signing quickly with the Hurricanes, inking a one-year, two-way deal in mid-October.

Now, with the prospect of another AHL season on the horizon, he’ll face a new challenge overseas instead. The talented playmaker still has tremendous offensive upside, but desperately needs to fill out the other parts of his game if he’s to ever live up to his second-round billing.

      Attitude and he won’t play defence. That simple.

      is he that bad at D that he’s not even worth a shot. I just feel if you’re a team that isnt playing for anything the bad D really shouldn’t be that crippling.

      If he couldn’t play D in the AHL, I shudder to think how bad he’d be in the NHL.

      His teammate and close friend on the Marlies Rich Clune said “He’s got a long ways to go as far as his work ethic goes” a year ago this month: link to theathletic.com

      He won’t sniff the NHL until he puts in the work. Maybe that happens in Finland, who knows. For his sake I hope it does.

      Sorry, but no team wants bad attitude on their team, at least not if your wanting to get better.
      He doesn’t want to learn to play defensive. He just expects his team mates to play defensive and get the puck to him! Ya why wouldn’t a team want that????

      but if he’s a great scorer then shouldn’t that compensate for that to some degree? I get his D isnt great, but I can imagine, like in many cases of dramatic statements about a player’s D, its bad but not entirely unplayable with a strong offensive output.

    Least surprising news ever. Worked at bars downtown Toronto the past decade, not sure I’ve met a player as fond of cocaine as Jeremy.
