All of our prospect get over rated and over hyped. He is probably a 3rd liner in 2 to 3 years. Nothing to do backflips over and not worthy of a first round pick. You get good players in the 2nd round.
Toronto Maple Leafs - 2022 Entry Draft - 2nd Rd Pick (38th OA) - Fraser Minten (C)
- Thread starter BertCorbeau
- Start date
He wasn’t drafted in the 1st round and I think most people are projecting him to develop into a good third line center. Don’t think that’s overhyping Minten up. Lol
I said he wasnt worthy of a first rounder not that was drafted there. Those other Gms arent dumb. He went in the 2nd round for a good reason.

Minten was injured ending last season (which could explain his lack of production in the WHL playoffs + Mem Cup.
He's looked quite good in this prospects tournament. A lot more skill than he showed towards the end of last season. Excited to see what he brings in an exhibition game or two.

Lol, good point.
Ffs, Minten is 19 yrs old!!!!! Give him a LITTLE time to develop, eh?
GMs have been wrong before. In a re-draft Weber and Bergeron go in the first round in the deep 2003 draft.
Leafs at Knight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bro first round talent slide to the 2nd round all the time lol, are you just being willfully ignorant?

Here's my prediction.
Barring career altering injury - which can happen at any time - Fraser will at a minimum turn out as a solid third liner.
And likely that will be his ceiling as well, however I hope that he will exceed that.
As an aside, obviously anyone paired with Bedard would benefit, but if Fraser and Connor were re-united, it would be something else. They had a synergy that I haven't seen since Sullivan and Nylander.

No need to be so specific.
He should playing anywhere between the first line and fourth to be more specific

One of the better non-NHLers in camp.
One of the best centers of all time wasn't a 1st. rounder, and wasn't high scoring either, and he just retired.

Minten did have a somewhat Bergeron-like style and was making things out of nothing in preseason. He’s such a pure center when it comes to processing the game.

Which always gives us a little cause for concern, but so far they’ve developed like other high picks.
