Julius Miettinen

A boom-bust type prospect as so far he has shown inconsistency in the pace of his play, which has limited his scoring production. Played defense the first seven years of his hockey-playing career in Finland before being moved to center.He has looked much more engaged as the season goes on. When he is going, he looks like a late first rounder, and should certainly come off the board by the 3rd round. When he is not taking shifts off, he can make that smart pass in traffic and is able to find his way to the net.
