Prospect Info: Fraser Minten

[Over the volcano]

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.

The answer is both.

Funny though that they're from the same draft but separated by 9inches, 60lbs and 38 goals last year.

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.

I haven't had the chance to watch this kid play but I am excited about the reports I hear about him from the smarter folks than me who have.

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"

Letourneau

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.

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

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.

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.
