Preseason Reset: Fraser Minten could fill a need for the Bruins | Stanley Cup of Chowder

Dan Ryan

Stanley Cup of Chowder

Fraser Minten arrives in Boston with a real shot at lining up as a defensively reliable 3C behind Lindholm, after being sent from Toronto in the Brandon Carlo swap. He impressed in September’s Prospects Challenge and has added strength to win puck battles and kill penalties, with a path to a full NHL role if camp goes well.

Boston’s 2025-26 lineup hinges on Minten earning a third-line spot or Providence assignment, as the club weighs Mittelstadt or Zacha at 2C. His versatility and two-way game fit a Bruins’ depth model, making the 21-year-old a high-upside fantasy target if he sticks in the NHL all season.

What is Minten's realistic 2025-26 role and fantasy value for standard leagues?PK usage and faceoffs: how big a factor will they be for Minten early?Does Lindholm at 1C free Minten to flourish 3C wise?Season-long targets for Minten in fantasy terms?
