So Miettinen is indeed staying in Finland. Playing his first game of the regular season on the first line alongside his younger brother Verner

 

[Loffer]

That much about that commitment, verbal or not. Nonetheless, a commitment is no contract, a change of mind no breach, in this case not even a question of moral character. It is rather called enthusiasm, perplexity, hesitation and second thoughts of a young mind. We approve all these attributes, they are intrinsically appropriate to the age of youth.

 

[BKarchitect]

That’s deep man...

Anyways, I look forward to seeing him in St. Cloud in another year or two - he profiles as a kid who could be a big time star at the NCAA level.

A Scouting Report
Veeti Miettinen Scouting Report: 2020 NHL Draft #101

 

[Zub]

We could have a Victor Arvidsson 2.0 right here, you never know with small players, as we have seen enough times.

 

[MMC]

Welcome to Toronto!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Veeti has been destroying the JR A, going to be a top pick in 2020. Outscoring consistently higher ranked Roni Hirvonen.

Just take em both and see how it goes

 

[Haanz]

No idea how/why he fell so far. He was firmly in my top 20 all season long, though I’m certainly higher on him than most. Unbelievable value at pick #168.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Small and 1 dimensional offense means you can't play.
Big and 1 dimensional defense we'll take you in the 2nd.

That's the NHL.

That's the NHL.

If Miettinen would've been 10 to 15 centimetres taller
he would have been drafted for the first three rounds.
Small size and lack of physicality caused his falling to Maple-Leafs in 6th round.

 

[Svedu]

Should get the chance to showcase his level in a camp. He's numbers from last year is impressive and if he has added some strength, he could be interesting as a speedy and skilled winger in a fourth line.
I hope the coaching staff are willing to have a "Checking" line that still possesses some skill, for example Miettinen and Leevi Aaltonen.
