Good size and he can score.

The way he shoots the puck reminds of Matt D'agostini. Let's hope he turns out better that Matt.

Any projections on this guy? Is he still on track and has his draft value gone up or down?

 

[Kairi Zaide]

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Signed in Sweden through 2024-25?

 

[HespelerGreenFlash]

Dare I say he looks a bit like KK out there. Also showed some nice wheels on one breakaway. Interesting

He reminds me of Erik Cole in his prime.

He’s got a nice set of tools. Good size, good speed, high compete level and can really shoot the puck. Hopefully a cut above Ylonen. To me the trade hinges on him. If he ends up a top 6 player this will be a great trade. If not, we could have waited and gotten better IMO.

I'm no expert on this guy, but just from those clips he looks like a way better skater then KK

For a trade like this I just want one good young player, either from the pick or the prospect.

Suzuki from the Pacioretty trade and Paciorety from the Craig Rivet trade are prime examples. Tatar and Gorges were great bonuses, but ideally we get 1 really good young player, regardless of the other pieces.

Oh you’re always so funny!

 

[The Great Weal]

A bigger Lehknonen would be nice. Hopefully he doesn't forget how to shoot the puck once he comes here like Lehkonen though.

Ya I’m not sure if Heineman is that guy. Hopefully he is. It’s always tough to tell how good these Europeans are. Seems he’s gotten hot lately though, hopefully more than just a streak. I do like the tools.

 

[Natey]

Traded twice before his 21st birthday. Got some people to prove wrong!

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Bienvenue a Montreal Mr.Heineman

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Signed long-term in Sweden, but we don't need him over here for another 2 seasons, so it's fine.

Have to imagine he's got an NHL out clause

Isn't that guy, for sure. He is more a B-prospect. But the 1st pick is really good piece, can be a A-prospect if we draft well. (Look at Logan Mailloux, drafted at 31. Pastrnak at 25). 2022 is a really good depth draft.

 

[CoopersFalls]

Sounds like this was a guy JG and KH targeted. So we will see how their scouting abilities play out.

 

[Natey]

Also, really interested in drafting his teammate. Wonder if we will grab him now that we will be watching Emil.

Swiss Defenseman for Leksands, Lian Bishsel. Huge defenseman. 6'5, 215 pounds. He's a very good skater too. Have him ranked highly. Started the year in the Junior Swedeish leagues, but moved up after posting 7 points in 11 games. Has posted 2 points and a -1 in 18 games in the SHL as a 17 year old.

 

[Mandalorian]

Some projection at his draft were Carl Hagelin: Emil Heineman Scouting Report: 2020 NHL Draft #76

Some reports:

A goal-scoring winger who plays a very good 200-foot game. A very good skater. Not afraid to play the body. Great on-ice effort level. Very good by the boards. Lacks high-end offensive tools but projects to become a good complementary winger at the NHL level.

A cerebral player who takes the right routes and makes good decisions on or off the puck, Heineman is the quintessential playmaker because he puts defensemen and goalies on notice the second he hops over the boards.

He's the type that can fit anywhere in the lineup and play any role. There's a strong push to his stride, which gives him added acceleration and top speed while skating in a straight line. He's always got his feet moving, always maintains a high battle-level, and never shies away from making personal sacrifices to improve the two-way health of his team.

 

[That Habs Fan]

A big and skilled Swedish winger in the Habs system? This truly is a new era! I can count Swedish Habs on one hand and I've been watching this team 37 years.

Except skating is a strength of his whereas it was/is a huge problem with KK

 

[Locks]

These are some impressive stats. The guy is in 99 percentile in G/60 and 97percentile in P1/60. Also, from the article below, he averages about 12min TOI and is tied for second in goals. And he plays a good 200ft game, is a good skater with non-stop motor and has an excellent shot. I like the trade so far.

Lehkonen with better finish?

I wouldn’t say for sure. There is pretty big upside with Heineman I’d say. The floor is decent as well. If he was tearing up the AHL instead it would be a lot easier to tell.
