The third and final of the Ducks' CHL Defensemen of the Year winners, Pavel Mintyukov took off after a midseason trade to Ottawa (OHL). Where have you seen the most progress from him?MM: I think it was a great opportunity for Pavel moving from a team that was really offensively minded team, one that let everybody play with a lot of freedom, to a successful system at the junior level in Ottawa. They were one of the most successful junior teams in the regular season this year and play a most structured approach. Pavel was able to adopt that and continue developing defensively while still figuring out how he can impact the game offensively. That's what was most impressive for me with his season, that after a month of being there and learning the system, he was able to find his spot in a different way than he was doing in Saginaw. He still produced as much, and obviously some of that comes from the power play, but anybody who saw him 5-on-5 saw the evolution of his game, how aware he is on the ice and how quickly he anticipates what's coming at him. I think it was a great, great opportunity for him this year.
