Nieminen’s skating base has always been his calling card, he’s able to beat forecheckers with ease and carry the puck across the neutral zone seemingly every other shift. He’ll activate and offer support down the middle or as a trailer, sometimes even leading the rush but still having the wheels required to get back in position in due time. His skating is also a defensive weapon, allowing him to close on attackers through powerful pivots and match them along the wall. And there’s a physical flair to his game, too. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
