Prospect
Shoots Right
Height 6'0"
DOB 3/25/2002
Born Oulu, Finland
Drafted 3rd Rd, #64 Overall in 2020
$Niemela signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs in May of 2022.
Impressive at rookie camp
DToronto Maple Leafs  Minors
September 18, 2024
Niemela delivered five assists in two rookie-camp games against the Canadiens last weekend.
ANALYSIS
Niemala stood out as one of the Leafs' best players. He ran the top power-play unit and very effectively got the puck on the net low in order to produce rebounds for his teammates. Niemala was originally drafted because of his strong defensive instincts and smarts, but he has shown real growth in his offensive game. The Leafs' blue line is suddenly tight with so many offseason acquisitions, so Niemala may end up back in the AHL for more consistent ice time.
