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.
LetourneauLetourneau and Zeller picked in the same draft but Zellers 2 rounds later, who would you rather have moving forward. I hope the Bruins don't botch up all these picks they now have.
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.
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![]()

Who knows how he'll turn out but his upside is apparent.
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.He sure has received some bad directions. I am surprised BC, in all their wisdom didn't advise him to wait a year or two.
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?Yes he was.
