So how fast is this Bracco kid? Does he have a shot?

He is tricky, and elusive, I wouldn't say he is overly fast. Speed alone is not all that is required in the NHL. Look at Ryan O'Reilly in open ice, he is as slow as anyone who has ever played in the NHL. However, like Bracco he is a phenomenal stick handler and elusive.
Bracco doesn't have any good size or reach though, that is my concern with him.
I can't state enough about this kids playmaking and vision.
Still laughing at the people who think he has attitude issues because he went to the CHL.
Hilarious stuff.

To be fair to those people: It's reasonable to assume a kid, who was said by scouts to have attitude issues, has attitude issues after he drops out of school because he isn't playing top minutes to go play somewhere else, rather than working hard and earning top minutes. To those people, it says that Bracco has a sense of entitlement and that he thinks he should already have been given 1st line ice time.
We'll only know for sure down the road.

Cox said he tried out college for his dad. That doesn't seem like a kid with attitude issues. A kid with attitude issues would more likely be: **** you dad, I'll do what I want.

Kids will do things for their parents that are not what they really want out of respect for their parents.
Hey, I'll go there ...
Since when is showing respect for good parents an attitude problem?
Perhaps we have another witch hunt, like the Nylander one. A squeaky clean, respectful kid report doesn't get as much attention as a "hey look at this!"
He has reminded me of Spezza with the puck handling, and vision plays he's made. There are so many highlights of Spezza circling the Leafs net and eventually putting in or setting up a goal over the years. When I saw it during the preseason it was, "there's Spezza."

His lone assist tonight came off a rush down the right hand side along the boards with his skates pointed in a v shape not knowing if he would continue towards behind the net or possibly stop up and find a teammate in open ice. A defenceman was covering him aswell. He decided to curl around the net trying to pass out front, it was tipped towards the slot a shot came a rebound was there and his line mate put in the rebound. The goal was created by him and had great patients to make a good play once he had the puck.
Anyone here see Wellwood in his prime with the Leafs? I did, he toyed with NHL defencemen as well or better than Bracco. I see the same dumpy body type here as I did with Wellwood.
I was the first guy on the internet to call Schenn, Schitt, and that our entire scouting staff was stuked by Burke, as they were all in on picking Forsberg. And Burke decides he is god and goes with Rielly. Another potential, meh, But lets see how this kid plays out.
I just don't think he will not translate to the NHL at all. Just too predictable after a while and no speed to adjust.
I am not even a big fan of Marner either. I think though Hunter will get vindicated by three other guys he picked much later. Dermott? Looked good in Leaf camp, maybe he is disappointed he is back in the OHL, but sure isn't blowing anyone away right now.
Nylander, for better or worse is our best prospect, no one else is close to him at this point.

Bracco has great vision and stick handeling. Those are the first two things that jump out when you watch him play. He finds his teammates and distributes the puck to them very easily. He isn't the fastest skater but has great edges and is hard for defenceman to react on where he's going. As for his shot, I've only seen him shoot the puck a few times. He's definetly a playmaker, doesn't use his shot a lot. From what I saw, his shot needs some work. Not a lot behind it but once he adds some weight and develops more he could have a sneaky good shot. Not too hard but could surprise goalies since he's known for his playmaking abilities.

He has great patients with the puck and is exciting to watch him create opportunities without much space or time. Which should help him adjust at the next level aswell.
Some things that need polished other than the size and street of the kid would be his compete level in the neutral and own zone. Granted it's only been two games he is usually the last guy back into his own end and also when he gets there isn't fully engaged in the defensive zone.
It's only been two games so getting a real good look at him over the next few months of the year should be good to see how he's developing. If someone has a specific question let me know and I'll see if I have a good answer for you! He has a bright future just has to commit and work hard on developing!
