Nashville, Tenn. (WGR 550) - With their fourth-round selection at 109th overall in the 2023 NHL Draft, the Buffalo Sabres take left winger Ethan Miedema from the Kingston Frontenacs in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).
Miedema was originally property of the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL for the first year-and-a-half of his juniors career before being traded to Kingston this past year as part of a deal for Seattle Kraken prospect Shane Wright.
In his two seasons in the OHL with Windsor and Kingston, Miedema has accumulated 34 goals and 56 assists for 90 points in 133 games.

After scoring 11 goals and adding 20 assists for 31 points in 36 games with Windsor, Miedema went on to add nine goals and 12 assists for 21 points in 32 games. His 52 total points and 32 assists were the most from any Kingston skater during the 2022-23 season.
Here is what Elite Prospects had to say about the 6-foot-4, 208-pound winger:
"Miedema has dual-threat scoring potential. He easily turns passes into blistering wristers, curling pucks around sticks when necessary. A clever passer, he chooses the right pass for the lane whether that’s slip, hook, saucer, or backhand. He spots his options early and guides teammates into space with his feeds."
