Russian Defenceman Pavel Mintyukov was drafted in the 1st round, 52nd overall by the Saginaw Spirit in the 2020 CHL Import Draft. Due to Covid, the 2020-21 season was wiped out, and Mintyukov missed a year of hockey. However, it has not seemed to hurt the Moscow-native as he had an outstanding season this year. Mintyukov put up 17 goals and 45 assists for 62 points in 67 games. His numbers are even more impressive when you consider the fact that the Spirit were the second-worst team in the league this year. He also played in the CHL Top Prospects Game.

Interesting. They said smart, high character kid who was good in all situations? I'm summarizing. Sounds pretty good.

He seems like a decent prospect, of course Verbeek picks a soft offensive defenseman. Mark my words as long as he's gm this team will be last in the league in fights and a constant bottom 5 team

Because of a good start prior to all Verbeeks trades
Phoenix adding size, maybe many future Beagle incidents

Great pick adding to our D core. LaCombe and Thurn can pull a Justin Shultz on us.
Mintyukov is great highest ranked player left on my board at 7th. Lots of offensive ability and is underrated defensively just played on a bad team.

You don’t waste first round picks on guys who can fight. We got another draft day left.

As usual, every player gets an interview but ours.
I said I was whelmed, but the more I look into him the more I think I understand why Verbeek and Madden wanted him. He's creative, thinks the game well, has the ability to do what he wants to do with the puck, and seemingly has a good head on his shoulders.
Mintyukov could become a really decent long-time D for us. Amazing addition to a D-corps that already has Drysdale and Zellweger.

There are a LOT of picks they have left in this draft. Passing up skill for physicality at #10 is a bad plan. Wait until tomorrow and the first week of UFA to be sure Verbeek was lying when he said he wanted players who were tough and hard to play against.
