Miettinen has a quality release that helps generate an effective and effortless wrist shot. He's a real power play threat from the half-wall. Miettinen can find players in the seam and in the slot. He has good edges, and he flashes very good speed. He can change his speed and surprise defenders with quick bursts, with good four-step acceleration. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
