This is what I'm thinking too. Gorton trades CGY's 26th and our 1st for #22 and we draft a 2nd pairing D.This trade is very similar to the one Gorton made in 2018 with Rick Nash. He got 1st rounder (#26), Ryan Lindgren and two players. He traded his #26 pick to Ottawa for #22 and picked K'Andre Miller with it. Now, Miller and Lindgren are the second D pairing for the Rangers. So Heineman is the Lindgren of that trade, and the pick is likely to be better than #26.
