Julius Miettinen's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - June 11th: "Miettinen brings a combination of size, power and skill. He’s a solid skater in open ice and a shooter on the power play. He gives opponents all they can handle along the boards and net front in the offensive zone."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - June 11th: "He improved his skating as he adjusted to the pace of play in his first season in the WHL and was able to show a mean streak that allowed him to create space for himself around the net in the offensive zone. "

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - June 11th: "Miettinen (6-3, 201) came to North America from his native Finland this season and had 67 points (31 goals, 36 assists) in 66 games. The 18-year-old led WHL rookies in face-off wins (585) and his favorite NHL team happens to be the Stars."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "There are times where Miettinen is a little too unnoticeable for a player of his size, but when he’s at his best there’s power in his game that can be hard to come by. He also has some good touch with the puck for a bigger guy, which only enhances his value."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "He protects the puck well and can play along the wall or go to the front of the net and make plays around the crease. I like him going to get pucks. He’s good in the faceoff circle. He’s got a quick release and scored 31 goals this season."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "I wouldn't call his compete level high, but it's good enough given his frame. He's a strong skater. I wish he'd play a bit quicker at times, but he has a powerful stride and can skate with pros. He has a chance to be a third-line center."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "He’s big at 6-foot-3 and 207 pounds, and he’s not afraid to use his frame any time he can. His season started slowly, but once he got more comfortable in his new environment, he started to really look good."

Luke Sweeney - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "Julius Miettinen is a 6’3? two-way forward who stands out for his forechecking, playmaking, and net-front positioning. Miettinen’s strong stick-work and body positioning make him adept in winning back pucks off dump-ins and extended in-zone sequences."
