Julius Miettinenis one of the forwards worth watching in the Seattle Kraken's system.

Oscar Fisker Molgaard, F
Oscar Fisker Molgaard impressed during his first season in North America.
The 2023 second-round pick recorded 10 goals and 24 assists for 34 points in 49 games with Coachella Valley last season. His play also earned him 13 games with Seattle.
The 21-year-old is pushing for a larger NHL role in 2026-27, but he remains a major name to follow if he spends additional time with the Firebirds.
Jani Nyman , F
Jani Nyman has already proven he can score at the AHL level.
Nyman recorded 21 goals and 12 assists for 33 points in just 39 games with Coachella Valley last season while also appearing in 28 games for the Kraken.

The 22-year-old brings size at 6-foot-2 and a dangerous shot. He'll compete for a more permanent NHL role this season, but Nyman would immediately become one of Coachella Valley's biggest offensive threats if he returns to the AHL.
