Good pickup. Heinen is a quality utility player that has demonstrated offensive output from a. Depth position.
What do you mean by "even Aman"? Aman's probably the weakest of the three, IMO.Slowly but surely, the Canucks are beefing up their bottom six. Heinen and Sherwood are significant upgrades over Lafferty, Di Guiseppe and even Aman.
Canucks just became a lot harder team to play against.
Came to post my memory of this as well... lol..I like this signing. Seems like a much better player than the Virtanen for Heinen days.
This is an excellent deal. Heinen is a jack-of-all-trades two-way forward. Pretty strong shot/chance impacts, has enough skill to make some plays off the rush, solid on exits, and has some forechecking ability. Drop him and Debrusk next to Petey and let 'em cook.
I've been like the most vocal person here about wanting to add Heinen.^ Hoping this is accurate and not just those things people say because he's a canucks now. ha.
He's bounced around now... seems like a classic Good enough to acquire/not good enough to keep guys. Will wait to see... what he brings, how he fits..
