Prospect Info: Bruins Prospects XXV

[Kegs]

I bet you Minten and Zellers become 1 and 2. That's how poor the system was before today.

Put some respect on mintens name. Kids already sniffed the nhl.

Put some respect on mintens name. Kids already sniffed the nhl.

I think he's the most NHL ready of their guys, but if he's a better prospect than Letourneau, that's not good.

They passed on Greentree to take Letourneau who they thought was better. Greentree had much better draft year and D+1 year in the CHL than Minten has.

Minten is likely a bottom 6 guy, but the kind fans will really like. Even taken NHL readiness and certitude, I wouldn't put a player like that at the top.

 

[Montecristo]

I like the fact this zeller kid is leading the entire ushl in goal scoring by kind of a wide margin. Who knows but maybe hes an actual forward prospect with top 6 upside and not “middle 6.” They need more of those.

The toronto kid might continue the trend of having no worries at all filling out the bottom 6 today tomorrow or 10 years from now.

Well we did get Rask from Toronto, so let’s hope we got the same luck

 

[Coach Parker]

Future Watch received in mail Tuesday
Top 10 teams
Minton 2 Leafs
Zellers 7 Avs
Wanner 9 oilers
Wild guy in NHL I’ll check last years

Thanks for looking. Lots of optimism.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Saturday's update will be delayed till probably tonight
If someone would like to do it, feel free

 

[goldenblack]

Minton and Zellers would be 1 and 2
Don't think Wanner will make my top 10
Gasseau and Brunet are surging
Give me 1 week

Can Brunet make the NHL? At age as an offensive dman, surely he'd need more production down there still to make the jump?

He is expanding his game. He is no longer just an offensive defenseman even though Divver says he is neither.

No better place to do that than the AHL.

Apologies to @Saxon Eric for answering.

 

[RI.B FAN]

Am I correct that we have just our own first this year and two in 26?

Am I correct that we have just our own first this year and two in 26?

Correct. It depends how the Marchand trade conditions work but at the very least they have 9 picks in the the first two rounds over the next 3 years.

NVM. Read it wrong

 

[Number8]

We lost our feisty shit stirrer who I will sorely miss. God he was magic at firing things up.

We’ll need players that yap at goalies after owning them.

[bme44]

A question for some of the poster's with more Knowledge than I ? Is it better for Lysell, Merkulov, Minten, Poitras to spend the rest of the season in the AHL or the NHL. We know all will play a role in the Providence playoff run.
Part of me thinks they will be playing in more meaningful games in AHL

 

[ODAAT]

with the trash talk after

 

[ODAAT]

So is it expected Minten will join the big club this year or leave him with the PB`s?

A scouting report on every notable prospect moved at the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline

Did your team snag a future piece over the past week? Get to know them here.

www.dailyfaceoff.com

Will Zellers, C, 18 (​

Previous Team: Colorado Avalanche
Trade Details

Zellers loves to play with speed, beating opponents with quick hands and swift footwork. He’s been one of the best USHLers this year, which is great. Sometimes, it felt like he was too fast for his teammates, with plays dying because he outpaced everyone and painted himself into a corner. Zellers has good hands and the skill to become an NHLer, but he’s not physical and you need to be if you’re not going to be a key offensive contributor.

Fraser Minten, C, 20 (Boston Bruins)​

Previous Team: Toronto Maple Leafs
Trade Details

It probably was tough for Toronto to move on from him, but Minten was one of the team’s most notable prospects and now he’s off to a rival. Minten is at his best when he’s chasing after guys. He’s not a game-breaker by any means. But he’s a multifaceted forward who can play whatever role asked of him. He should be capable of stepping up higher occasionally if paired with a lethal shooter, too. Minten likely tops out as a second-liner, but he could be better suited as a matchup killer on the third line.

Max Wanner, RHD, 21 (​

Previous Team: Edmonton Oilers
Trade Details

Wanner went from being a seventh-round pick to panning out as a legit prospect for the Oilers. The 6-foot-3, right-shot defenseman played some key minutes as an AHL rookie in Bakersfield last year. He had some good opportunities in Bakersfield this year, but his offense was quite limited and he missed some time with an injury. From talking to scouts, the sense is that he just hasn’t progressed enough as a prospect. That being said, he’s good in his own zone, hard to play against and is quite competitive. At the very least, he’s a good AHLer, and that’s what you love to see out of a seventh-rounder. Anything else is just gravy.
