""We don't know his ceiling yet, and we don't know what he's going to turn into, because like I said, he's getting better and better every day.""
""Has a lot of the Charlie Coyle qualities," Sweeney said of Minten last March, adding."
""He's a confident kid in that regard, comfortable with his own skin to go out and play to the level and into his skillset, albeit wants to continue to improve. So we're excited about what his upside is.""
The Bruins dismantled their roster last March, trading veterans and collecting draft capital to rebuild a depleted prospect pool. The team sent Brandon Carlo to Toronto and acquired Fraser Minten plus a 2026 conditional first-round pick and a 2025 fourth-rounder. General manager Don Sweeney emphasized Minten's upside, likening some traits to Charlie Coyle and citing confidence, two-way ability, and room for growth. Minten projects as a steady bottom-six center with defensive reliability and developmental upside. Minten's first full NHL season in 2025-26 accelerated his emergence as the Bruins gained momentum late in the season.
