Fraser Minten's dominant playoff performance excites Maple Leafs fans
One of the Toronto Maple Leafs' top prospects in Fraser Minten is having himself an incredible post-season in junior, and it is exciting Leaf fans for the future.
Fraser Minten is a prospect that many Leafs fans were excited about after this year's training camp.
