RW Veeti Miettinen - St Cloud State University, NCAA (2020, 168th, TOR)

How is this guy progressing? Always had some potential to him, like a top9 winger for a second PP-unit. But perhaps not in Toronto with a stacked offensive.
If he would have been selected by a team like Montreal or Flyers I do believe he would've made it.

I haven't seen the Huskies play yet but his numbers are kind of odd. He leads the team with 13 goals but has just six assists after a 24 assist season last year.

If the Leafs were going to sign him I'd think it would have happened already.

Hope he still gets a shot somewhere.

Could have a similar role to a Paul Byron. Undersize with good speed for the PK that can fill a middle 6 when needed. Will probably need 2-3 years in the AHL before he has any shot at the NHL.

Doubt it. A career in Europe is most likely.

Doesn't do anything particularly well aside from shoot the puck, which he needs a lot of time and space to do effectively. His skating is nowhere near Byron's. He's a one dimensional PP specialist who hasn't been able to dominate consistently offensively or show significant improvement from his rookie NCAA season to now.
