all of those guys including hutson may be similar in size but that's where the similarity ends. in terms of actually playing and producing heinola does not belong in the same sentance. as those guys.

Yeah…that’s what my first sentence said. Great rehash.
I’m also saying perhaps he needs more than 45 games, half on his weak side paired with an absolute pylon, to let him settle in a bit.
Who’s your pick for PP 1 or 2 time if Mo or Pionk go down?

It's the perfect time. Everyone knows what Stanley is. Samberg will be back soon to hopefully save the second pairing. See what you have in Heinola before the TDL where they will be adding.
We know what we have in Stan. He shouldn’t be in line up, but, he will be.

When he's not injured he looks like a guy with all the tools. A 2C one day? Not sure but he's really missed a lot of development

You can't compare him to those guys - he not even close to being in their league.
This really isn't about height / weight - it's more about having the grit / strength that playing NHL hockey requires.
That doesn't mean you are a goon - it means you are strong enough to manage the wear and tear of the game.
That's what he is missing - he a super soft player that has a decent level of skill.
He came out I think in last yr's preseason and stated that he needed to be stronger to play in this game and that he was working on it.
Not sure how much stronger he is but he looks better TY than he has in the past -
Is it enough? We'll see -

I like Miller and his shot but I don’t see him as a guy who can set up the PP from the point.
How many games have we lost from mo and pionk they have been blessed with good health. Outside of this new one to berg,only injuries i remember are to Villardi and ehlers.

I hope the jets give ville a good ten game stretch on the left side with a decent partner and see if he excels. Playing a few games in the off side with a rando partner is not going to get him anywhere

IMO, I think the guys on the bubble all get platooned - what's more interesting is understanding what the plan is.
Do they want one of these guys to stick or do they want to perpetually drop them in and out of the lineup.
IDK - but we've heard how Arniel wants them all in game shape to fill in for injuries, or just to drop them into games where they best align with the opponent.
That could change if one of them runs away with it - but we haven't see that yet.

I don’t see it in Heinola or Stan. I think the best match up is mo, berg, fleury.
