If i had to take only one of them (Jokinen, Kapanen, Miettinen) it would be Miettinen because of his 2way play and his physical game.
Miettinen is one of the most well-rounded players on the Stars. There's nothing he can't do, really. People are suprised to see Miettinen leading all rookie forwards in hits, even second or third on the Stars in limited playing time. I'm actually surprised Miettinen hasn't been involved in a single fight yet..
He's made some passes that I just sit there and say "how did he do that?" Long term I think Miettinen will be a very good player. He has the hands of goal scorer and can read the game and plays better than anyone.
I still think Miettinen is the best out of the 3. That being said, I love both Kapanen and Jokinen as well.
Miettinen is great defensively, great on the forecheck, and he has that lovable Finnish finesse and vision. Thats an absolutely DEADLY combination.
I see Miettinen as the better playmaker than Jokinen. Jokinen may have more assists, but that's only because he's getting PP time that Miettinen isn't.
From the half boards, Miettinen is a very dangerous passer. He has very good vision, and he's made some amazing passes from there this season.
miettinen has been what i didn't expect, he plays a pretty physical game and hustles like crazy, gotta love that.
But my favorite of the three would have to be Miettenen. That kid has got some explosive speed and hits everything that moves.
After the game last night I was listening to Ralph on his show and he was talking about Miettinen. I believe he is #2 on the team for hits behind Morrow, but he does hit everything that moves and irritates the heck out of the other team. He'll hit the other team and then that player will look and see who hit him and when they see Miettinen they think What the???
Jokinen's amazing, I'd pick him, even though Miettinen in the long run might turn out to be better.
