I included playoffs...
I can include WJC and Mem Cup tournys if you want, but it'll won't change things much...
I would say 'tiny struggle' for a player his caliber is an understatement for a 'top prospect', and largely an excuse IMO. For a player of his size, he should be able to get > 1 PPG against primarily younger competition.
With prospects like:
Nielsen (PPG CHL D-man, and >0.5 PPG AHL D-man)
Borgman (SHL Rookie of the Year)
Rasanen (Towering 0.6 PPG CHL D-man and 2 years younger)
Brooks (Nearly a 2 PPG player and had a 120 pt U19 season)
Woll (BU's #1G as a Freshman)
Joshua (>PPG Sophmore)
Aaltonen (Top KHL U24 point producer)
Timashov (Very comparable U19 stats to Bracco)
+ Rosen
+ Rychel
+ Gauthier
+ Scott
What seperates Bracco from a guy like Timashov?
I just don't understand how Bracco can even be in the conversation for a top 5 prospect, let alone top 10.
