Giants regular here, he was an absolute pain to play against. So hard to describe but almost every time you saw a smart, simple play on either end it ended up being number 16. You don't necessarily notice him doing anything crazy but he makes things happen.Worth a bump.
Regular season :
Finished his 17 year old rookie season with 20 goals (10 pp, 1 sh, 1 gw) and 55 points in 65 games
Fraser was +23 had 212 sog with around 600 face-off wins.
finished 5th in goals with in team and 5th in points as well
Play-Offs :
Has so far scored 5 goals (1 pp, 3 sh, 3 gw) and 12 points in 12 games
Fraser is +2 has 46 shots on goal and around 120 face-off wins.
is 3rd in goals with in team and 3rd in points as well

Not too sure, because I don't see the capacity for him to be a play driver at the NHL level. He could be a really good middle six complimentary player, though. Think the ceiling of a smaller Nick Paul?thanks from the info
any idea is he gonna be 2nd or 3rd rounder?
What did you like about those players specifically over Minten?hope this works out but seems like a reach with all the big names still available like Warren, Sykora, and Chelsey going one pick prior
Seems like a reach and then you name a player drafted before him lol. Makes 0 sense.hope this works out but seems like a reach with all the big names still available like Warren, Sykora, and Chelsey going one pick prior

He is a reach - and his lack of an active prospect thread should inform you of that. He's very unknown to a lot of posters and is a projected 3C. No need to get offended over my opinion.
I'm just very disappointed we traded down from a pick where we could have gotten the likes of Rinzel, Mesar, Lambert, Chelsey. Even those players aside, there were others like Warren, Luneau, Trikozov, Goyette, Hutson, and Sykora with tremendous upside and 1st round talent.
I'm not saying this pick can't be good - it's always disappointing when there are players you follow and just know they have a high possibility of success - and then you don't.
And my point is you don't waste a first or early second on Freddy Gauthier - unless that player has the ceiling of Danault, Bergeron, Etc.The biggest factors at play here were his decent skating ability, high hockey IQ and his young age being one of the youngest players in the draft. The leafs are gambling he will have a breakout season offensively in his D+1.
He's a safe pick in a sense because he's probably guaranteed a 4th line role in the nhl with his defensive attributes.
This pick is similar to the Freddy Gauthier pick in many ways. Lets hope that unlike Freddy he develops more of an offensive game next season.
Freddy had a higher ceiling at the time he as drafted. He just didn't develop his skills in the following years. There was no progression.And my point is you don't waste a first or early second on Freddy Gauthier - unless that player has the ceiling of Danault, Bergeron, Etc.
He was projected as a #3C when he was drafted. Anything more was just wishful thinkingFreddy had a higher ceiling at the time he as drafted. He just didn't develop his skills in the following years. There was no progression.
