Player Discussion Emil Heineman

Who would you have in mind? Olivier?

That's an option, but I'm sure there are others out there. I mean, nobody really saw the Habs trading Barron for Carrier.

No one expected our right side to get as exposed as it did to start the year even with Savard.
The writing was on the wall when with Savard out our RD got walked like Pee Wees.

Solid "throw in" in that trade!!

He wasn’t a throw in. They wanted him specifically. Habs scouts liked him in the 2020 draft and had pick #47 and #48, Heineman went to florida at 43.

I'm aware of the picks the Habs had that year, IMO when you want a player that bad especially with back to back picks right after, you move up and select the player you really want, you don't let that get away for a 5th or 6th round pick along with either of 47-48 IMO...

Never said they wanted him ‘’that bad’’. They were interested. When he was an option in the Toffoli trade, they wanted him because they liked him previously.

Heine has top6 written all over him. Perfect 2nd liner. There's really nothing about his game that is weak.

 

[windycity]

He looks like he could play higher up the lineup but I'd let him develop further unless injuries

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Yeah I’m all for leaving him where he is. He’s doing great there. Leave him be.

 

[Steve Shutt]

I didn't think he wasn't going to turn into anything when we acquired him. Pleasantly surprised. Curious what he could do with top 6 ice time

And what happens when every team likes the guy they have at the top of their board too much to risk them being gone for a simple 5th round pick?
