Who is Fraser Minten? Maple Leafs coach called newest Bruin ‘veteran on the bench’

The Bruins acquired Fraser Minten from the Maple Leafs as part of the Brandon Carlo trade. Here's a few things to know about the center.

Minten was one of the Maple Leafs' top prospects. He also played with Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard at West Van Academy Prep.


A second-round pick by Toronto in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, the 6-foot-2, 192-pound center has a lot of potential to develop into an everyday NHL player. During the 2024 World Juniors, Minten captained Team Canada and tallied three points in five games before they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Czech Republic.

Minten has played in just 19 games and is only 20 years old, Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube called the center “a veteran on the bench.”

“He’s excellent. He talks, really, like a vet on the bench. He’s already got that mindset and knows the game extremely well,” Berube told reporters in December, via SportsNet’s Luke Fox. “He’s not a guy you gotta really teach a whole lot to. It’s just, he needs reps. Because he understands the game. He understands the systems very well.

I'll wait until next year. If you stink at a non pro level 2nd year out of the draft your never gonna cut it in the bigs. BC is loaded excuse plays. But Beecher at Michigan when they had all those top 10 picks was better than this.

We also might have effed up our goaltending for the next decade to get LeToruneau so it's nothing like a good team whiffing with their inherently late first.
 
Minten certainly is an interesting player. and just shows what a crapshoot the draft and predraft evaluation can be, read through some of the pre draft articles, and they were very similar to the pre draft evaluations on Beecher. Both were buried on a team with amazing talent and limited their opportunities to showcase offensive skills, etc.

Rooting for the kid, could really use him to become a long term Bruin. Hopefully at least able to get it as a middle 6 center.

Letourneau 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.

Zeller has has a better post draft year for sure.

I'm glad to have both in the stable of future assts.

And the very nature of draft pics means that the vast majority of new picks they have will never see the NHL, doesn't mean they are bad picks, it's just the nature of the sport

Well, I wouldn't call it job security.

Sweeney needs to hit on some of these picks by either using them as assets or making a mark with some of the selections or its a complete failure on his part. The nice thing is he now has options, Im just hoping he makes the right ones.
