Prospect Info: Bruins Prospects XXV

Who do you all think is expected to have the higher ceiling? Zellers or Minten? Feel like either would be drafted well above where they were in a re-draft today. General consensus seems to be that Minten will be a middle 6 player…

Zellers has in theory the higher ceiling, if for no other reason than he hasn't played yet at a level where his weaknesses might be exposed yet. So we can still dream that maybe he becomes a top line wing.

Hard to formulate an opinion when most here have not seen them play. Check back in a few months. All we can go on is what others have seen at lower levels.

Zellers has a higher ceiling because he’s a goal scorrr. If he hits he’ll hit because he’s scoring.
What perturbs me was seeing how pure and raw Pasta was upon entry. Kid could barely keep on his skates for more than half a shift, but you knew the speed, drive, and stick was there. We haven’t seen that much of a leash since then save for Poitras, which was pushed along by the OHL/pro factor. He obviously is small, but the skill and intelligence was known immediately, and not through 4 years of minors and AHL slogging. Sometimes I wish there was a little more trial by fire and not necessarily trust, but lack of a need for 100% defensive responsibility for younger players. Lindholm makes 7.75 and effs up,why do you need to hold them to a higher standard? Seems like Lysell and Merk have a similar offensive nature, but we’ve made them change so much about them to fit into our system, rather than accepting the player for who they are, and trying to imprint some two-way qualities on them during development.

Locmelis and Johansson just missed
Injury to Jellvik hurts his ranking otherwise he's a lock
Love the list. Couple surprises. Excited to see you still like Letourneau’s potential after a tough freshman year.
