Miedema was selected 109th overall by the Sabres in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft on Thursday.
The No. 4 overall selection in the 2021 OHL Draft, Miedema was part of the biggest OHL trade of the 2022-23 season, going from Windsor to Kingston in a January deal which brought Shane Wright to the Spitfires. Miedema is massive for an 18-year-old, checking in at 6-foot-4 and north of 200 pounds. He has very good hands, particularly in tight. His skating is fine for such a big kid, but Miedema lacks a gear to separate from opposing defenders. There's a real chance, probably better than 50/50, that Miedema is nothing more than a good junior player, but the size and skill combination makes for a worthy roll of the dice at this stage of the draft.
