"Like I said to the guys the other day, the fish don't just jump into the boat when you go fishing. It's great that you guys put the work in, but now it's time to execute and I think he's in a real good frame of mind for what he's got to do going to camp. He's been through it now."
"Everything that we appreciated about Minten during his time as a Leafs prospect was on full display: Backchecking hard, playing an incredibly smart two-way game, being hyper aware of his surroundings, and being able to set up his teammates for goals or score them himself."
"Fraser Minten's ability to close on the forecheck/backcheck and eliminate plays and players was really out of place in this tourney. No wonder he was with Locmelis on PP. Mgmt only needs to evaluate his offense and plan accordingly. He belongs in the NHL now. #NHLBruins"
Fraser Minten, traded from Toronto to Boston, opened the preseason dominating Boston's Prospect Challenge and standing out among Bruins prospects. Minten displayed consistent backchecking, smart two-way play, situational awareness, and playmaking ability that translated to scoring chances. Providence AHL coach Ryan Mougenel praised his positioning, leadership presence, and readiness for camp, emphasizing execution and preparation. Observers noted his forechecking and backchecking ability as NHL-caliber and suggested only offensive evaluation remains. Minten aims to make Boston's roster and faces limited centerman competition as he prepares to push for an NHL spot.
