Au contraire, Heidt has been mentioned many times as a guy who has a chance to make the NHL team out of camp( I think that's very optimistic), and at least get his 9 games in. Calling him a "good" CHL player is selling him short. He was third in scoring with 117 points.Good CHL player but most think he won't translate to the NHL?
Curious to see how good Ryder does. But Minnesota has pretty much plugged holes this draft. High end offensive defenseman. Skilled right winger.
I think he'll be in the NHL in 2-3 years from now, maybe 4. Depends on all sorts of things.
