Creating advantages for teammates is the core of Minnetian's game. In the offensive end, those come in the form of well-timed activation, becoming an additional option or drawing defensive attention to create more space on the rink. When the puck arrives, he avoids point shots, preferring to start give-and-goes, connect with teammates in the slot, or working laterally to draw in the defensive structure before passing through it. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
