Question guys... i'm a Habs fan. Heineman and Smilanic are ex-prospect of Panthers. Do you grade both B/B+ type of prospect??
I don't really know much about Heineman, but Smilanic I would say c+ or B- type, with b or B+ potential.
He's good down low with the puck. Plays in front of the net on the PP. He has good speed, and good passing. He's shot isn't much to write home about though. Neither is his play without the puck. He is kind of the type of player that waits for something to happen, versus making something happen.
After a white hot start this year in Quinnipiac, he hasn't done much at all lately. I want to say 2 goals in his last 13 or 14 games.
Really fizzled down the stretch in his junior year in a low-end competition wise ECAC division in NCAA.
My guess is he'll return to Quinnipiac for his senior season after the poor finale this year, but maybe Montreal has other thoughts.
