Prospect Info: Emil Heineman

[the valiant effort]

Johnny on the spot Saturday, great rush goal tonight. I woulda had him out for the 6-on-5

I would be interested in having him move up with Dach and Armia, and turn that line into a pure cycling possession approach with Hutson-Guhle running it from the blue line.

I'd rather Heineman take Armia's spot.

i admittedly gave up hope on this guy, mostly due to all the injuries he has picked up over his short career, but he's exactly the type of bottom 6 player i've always wanted on the Habs. a guy who can throw his weight around, and snipe.

What a bright spot he is becoming after a lackluster preseason. If he keeps this up he will be pushing our top 6.

He looks like the player we saw in his first pre-season with the habs. Such a great shot and release.

The way he skated through the neutral zone on the wing, with that shot, was so Pacioretty-esque.

Doesn't have patches' offensive ability, but a strong, fast N-S winger with a shot like that should make for a very solid bottom 6 player.

2 goals in 3 games for Heiny , young man's been grinding our training camps for a few years now and is finally showing what he can do , happy for him ,hope he can keep it up

 

[Guy Larose]

But HF told me he was a AHL player!?!

 

[Andy]

But HF told me he was a AHL plyer!?!

I find he had a very vanilla camp. But he's been great so far (outside the Bruins game, which was a bad one).

 

[Hannibal]

Try him with the Dacher. Get Armia the f*** out of there.

It may happen but maybe not right away. Don’t forget, he gets different opportunities on the 4th. Just putting him on the 2nd doesn’t always mean he’ll produce. If he can adjust, I think he’d be good there. That line certainly needs a shooter. I like Armia’s board game, but he’s not known for being a shooter. They really need that line to get going.

Not to produce but just because the speed and shoot first mentality will help.

 

[Habs4Life]

he seems way stronger this year

I get it but that doesn’t always work. He might gel with them, he may not. Talented rookies have been put on top lines before and they don’t always produce. I do think it’s worth a shot though. Anderson too. He’s been playing hard. Heineman might have more hockey sense though. Anderson is still a bull in a china shop.

A lot doesn't work but it's worth the try.. Armia hasn't added any value to the line

He's playing his game now. Last year, he was playing timid when he got a few games, and he was also off due to injuries. He appeared slower than when he fist arrived in Laval the year before. Perhaps he put on too much weight... I don't know. All I'm sure of, is that we're seeing the real Emil Heineman play this year.
