IF Letourneau had played in the USHL, it would be a better comparison, but he mad the jump from HS to NCAA, against much tougher competition.

This is not the "slander a young Letourneau in order to hate on the GM thread"
Took a wrong turn at “Fraser Minten” thread.
I love what I’m seeing about this kid. Seems like he’s very bright and committed.
Also love how he goes from being a top 6 forward to bottom 6 at best all because Toronto moved him

Lol yeah the number of leafs fans complaining about his limited offensive output, and writing him off as a 3rd line talent because of it, is hilarious. Like he may be a 3rd liner, but you don't know that based on a small sample size as a 20 year old in the NHL.Took a wrong turn at “Fraser Minten” thread.

Who knows how he'll turn out but his upside is apparent.
I remember when a certain captain was pegged as a 4th line nuisance at best at NHL level. His number will hang in the rafters and maybe at the HoF, too.
To be fair that was the book on him in juniors as well. Although he was buried on a team full of studs in junior and didn't get to show the offense
Ooo
Both wasn't an option, but thats good because we have both, but if they have a re-do of the draft today imo Zellers given his play in the USHL is taken ahead of Letourneau. It just goes to show you thou, how big of a crap-shoot it is drafting 17-18 year olds especially after the first 8-10 players.
He wouldn't of needed 2 years in the USHL. My sons town youth hockey\public HS linemate did 2 years in the USHL and then played for Northeastern and he was no where near as good as Letourneau at age 18.
I assume that's because, even though he's not allowed to actually plat for Providence right now, he can still be on their roster. Is that correct, Dom?
That is correct.
Technically, he has to be on an AHL roster.
Today they traded Drew Bavaro for Jake Gaudet and they can both play for their respective teams.
Hats off to Fraser

Looks kind of good
Thank you Sweeneyyyyyyyy
Thank you Sweeneyyyyyyyy
Pretty impressive 3 G 1 A..
I thought it was impressive that like Poitras with the Bruins, Minten broke camp with the Leafs in just his Draft +2 season.
Pretty funny if this ends up anything like the Rask trade. They’ll never trade with Boston again 
Not sure if this has been posted already but its highlights of the hat trick only
Others did the skating, but good net front position and finishing.....intriguing with c/w w/c Poitras eventually.
