Fraser Minten proves in Rookie Camp game vs. Penguins that he doesn't belong

Eyebrows raised when Fraser Minten was on the Boston Bruins Rookie Camp roster. Minten played six games for the Bruins after being acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, and the consensus is that he will earn a full-time spot on the team this year. The question was why the Bruins would risk injury for him to get two extra games at a rookie showcase.

If there's one knock on Minten's game, it's that he doesn't show too much offensive potential. It's fine if he sticks in his role of a third-line center, but as the game evolves, third lines are starting to contribute some form of offense to their teams.
