Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Fraser Minten makes eye-opening statement
Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Fraser Minten has been someone who has been getting a ton of attention from fans and analysts.
The Leafs already have a deep team but they also have a ton of prospects who have been making noise. Unfortunately for Minten, he got injured during training camp and has not been able to show everyone his full potential. Regardless, he is feeling confident.
Soon, Minten will get to play his first game with the Toronto Marlies. During an interview with The Athletic, Minten made some interesting comments about his potential as a player.
Fraser Minten displays confidence
"I have a pretty high floor as a player. Now it's just about pushing the ceiling as much as I can. That's my skating and finding ways to score and produce offensively."
Later in the interview, Minten made some comments about his injury. He explained how that set him behind and that recovery is a full time job in and of itself. Clearly, the kid is very mature beyond his years.
"You're not part of a team when you're hurt. In junior, you're still with the guys everywhere. But when you're hurt here, there's a return to play group that you're segregated into. You're just stuck in between. The recovery becomes your job."
Hopefully, Minten ends up panning out for the Leafs. That would be a whole lot of fun and it would be nice to see the next generation of Leafs players come up and make this team a contender.
