I guess being Russian playing in Canada will do that to you
I agree Mintyukov is underrated by many but lets take that first list with a grain of salt.Declaring him one of the most underrated prospects in the league.
Not on this list

#153 on Pronman list.....
Led his entire team in scoring as a rookie defensemen on one of the worst teams in juniors. His team is so bad.... like bad and he still almost put up point per game. NHL Blackbook and other scouting services had him as the second best defensemen in the draft and a top 3/5 prospect overall. I guess being Russian playing in Canada will do that to you
It;s petty crazy.I agree Mintyukov is underrated by many but lets take that first list with a grain of salt.
The Slafkovsky, Wright, and Cooley's of the world were ranked in the late 40s early 50's.
The list as a whole is atrocious and obviously whoever made it decided the newly drafted guys should be insanely low
Will be dissapointed if he slows down
Ya we got a very good mix of defenders for the future... Persoanlly i throw Luneau up there with Zell drysdale and mintyukov... i think hes going to be a very solid NHL player... i also think Warren has a lot of really nice raw tools that shuold compliment the rest of the dmens stylistically.Between Drysdale, Zellweger, and Mintyukov, the Ducks' defence is gonna be mobile af in the future.
Yeah, we need Warren to succeed. Zell, Drysdale, and Minty are not that physical. We need someone to be able to punch at least Jay Beagle time after time. Warren could fit that.Ya we got a very good mix of defenders for the future...

Mintyukov is pretty physical actually.Yeah, we need Warren to succeed. Zell, Drysdale, and Minty are not that physical. We need someone to be able to punch at least Jay Beagle time after time. Warren could fit that.
Personally, I am not too high on Minty, but I also admit I have not seen him much. When I did saw him, it felt he lacked dynamic and does plays that are questionable at the next level. But really, I have not seen him that much.
Currently tied for the league lead in points in the OHL.
That's too bad, defending is an area he needs a lot of developing in.He wasn’t impressive tonight. Was consistently being beaten wide by the Spitfires faster players. But he got his points…
He‘ll get there - gotta give him the benefit of the doubt - he’ll mature as the season progresses.That's too bad, defending is an area he needs a lot of developing in.
