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.
Then you're not counting right.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.
He reminds me of Erik Cole in his prime.
Welcome to Montreal!!
I really like the trade. He looks like a good prospect to have and fit perfectly on Habs prospect pool.
6g, 3 a, 9 points in his 10 last game in Sweden league!!
Maybe, he seems to have a good shot. Plus he has 2 inch on him and still room to fill in size.Lehkonen with better finish?
I remember this Draft Dynasty video a couple of years back that drew my interest in him.
Wonder how he's progressed.
The Calgary boards, for what it’s worth, don’t seem to view him as much of a loss.
Then again they probably thought/would have thought MSL was no big loss. Not comparing them as players of course just hoping they’re underestimating Heineman.
Deal seems fair to both teams
Hopefully he is not the next Jacob de la Rose or Sebastien CollbergThen you're not counting right.
Off the top of my head;
Naslund, Popovic, Dackell, Sundstrom, Murray, Norlinder, Gustafsson, Folin, Vejdemo...
Lehkonen always had finish, he's just not been able to do it in the NHL. Regardless of the value of the trade, getting a Lehkonen replacement with another chance at being a scorer in the NHL isn't bad to have in the prospect pool at all.Lehkonen with better finish?

I wished Heineman to drop mid 2nd the year we drafted Mysak and Tuch. Heineman is a much better prospect than both. At worst a great 3rd line winger with size, IQ and very high compete level. A bigger Lehkonen with a better shot seems fair.

Reminds me alot of Pacioretty
That's because he's playing in SHL and his numbers don't pop out, mostly because of his TOI and a cold start.The Calgary boards, for what it’s worth, don’t seem to view him as much of a loss.
