Toronto Maple Leafs forward Fraser Minten just got a huge co-sign from his head coach Craig Berube, who is usually very quiet in regard to praise.
Fraser Minten is a prospect that Toronto Maple Leafs fans have been excited about for quite some time, and with numerous players injured, Minten has been given a huge opportunity.
So far, Minten has made the most of his time with the Maple Leafs, and it seems like he has a great head on his shoulders to boot.
In the six games that he has played, Fraser Minten has managed a total of two goals and two assists for four points.
Although he did not reach the score sheet on Wednesday night against the Nashville Predators, Minten was still solid and his efforts showed as he recorded five shots on goal.
Fraser Minten has been awesome
Recently, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube spoke about Minten and the type of player he has been to start the season.
Berube is usually very quiet when it comes to overtly praising his players, although with Minten, he has made it a point to say some nice words.
"Very good - very good all around. He is getting more comfortable up here in the NHL. Coming off his injury and everything, I think he is starting to feel comfortable.
The line was really good tonight for us, and he was very good."
The line was really good tonight for us, and he was very good."
One could certainly interpret this as a potential confirmation of what Minten's future with the Maple Leafs is going to look like.
Even as players return to the ice, Minten is someone who has earned his keep and deserves to stick around, even if for just a few more weeks.
However, it also wouldn't be shocking if he did end up going back down to the AHL and the Toronto Marlies.
Regardless, in his few games with the Leafs, the team has gone 5-1 and they now have a record of 16-7-2 which is good enough for first in the Atlantic Division.
