Admittedly, I wasn’t overly familiar with the player going into the draft. He wasn’t highly rated by many online scouting publications, but I’ve spent some time since the pick was made reviewing the statistics and the tape. Below, I will share my personal opinion on the current state of the center prospect’s game and where the Leafs will likely try to take it over the next few years.
Toronto gets Fraser Minten at 38th. Really like this pick. Minten is really young and had top level production in his D-1 season and good production in his draft year (although plateauing and falling back a bit).
