While many focus on Matthew Knies and Nick Robertson, Fraser Minten, the team's second-round pick from the 2022 NHL Draft has emerged as a potential future star in this lineup.
His pre-season thus far has been fantastic with several big highlights, and now, he reportedly has a chance to make this roster, if not now, then in the very near future.
The Maple Leafs Coach has now taken notice of this as well, as his recent comments on Minten's performance will have Leafs fans very, very excited about the future.
