The most important thing I'm seeing out of Heineman is his ability to make the right play and execute it.
I love seeing a rookie winger head man the puck at the perfect time while keeping the pace up.
Most of our wingers don't even see the play to begin with.
Heineman is better with better players he just is.

I was potentially worried about IQ but he’s making smart plays and good passes all the time from what I seen.

Great middle 6er. If we weren’t stacked at wing, he’d probably do well in a top 6 at some point

He’d probably do well in place of Newhook at this point. I feel he’d be great for Dach and Laine, speed but also physicality and puck retrieval , I don’t get why he hasn’t gotten his audition yet, he’s been great.

I heard Marty talking about him as being in the perfect chair. :skeptic:
I think he needs to expand his belief in the player and explore his capacity to take on more.
Like Hutson you don't hold back progress you run with it until you have to pull back.

6th in rookie points so far, not too shabby

I've always liked this player.

Even if he had nothing else, his motor is almost impressive enough to be an nhler in itself but I also like his forcheck, ability to power to the net, and he gets pucks off his stick quickly.

I'd like to see him get some top 6 time when they are looking to shake things up.

Anderson is a closer comparison to Heineman than Lehkonen. Lehkonen was awesome defensively, and I'm not seeing that from Heineman right now.
How? Heineman has good wrist shot on pace for 20 goals. Playing 4th line minutes. He's 25 goal scorer playing in top six. Maybe 30 in his career year.

I would continue playing him right where he is...he is developing against lesser players...his time will come

I mean Anderson paced for 25 goals a season in his first 3 years in MTL, so it does kind of fit the profile you described.
