Prospect Info: Riley Heidt, C, 64th Overall, 2023 NHL Draft

[57special]

Heidt with 5 points in two gP over the weekend. Missed one game with UBI. He is 3rd in the WHL in P/PG, behind Cristall, who is blowing up, and the phenom, Mckenna, who will probably be the #1 oa pick in 2026.

Heidt looks vg.

Thanks for sharing! I thought it was incredibly stupid how many times Cristall got passed on during his draft year. I wanted Edstrom over Cristall, but not by much.

BTW, for my own curiosity, what is UBI?

Upper body injury.

Cristall is smaller than Heidt and is a winger. Also not a two way player, when I've seen him. If he is going to be a really good scorer, then that's ok, but i think
Heidt has a better all round game.

I think both should've gone higher in the draft.

I agree, they both should have. I didn't mean to imply one was better than the other, just that Cristall should have gone higher than he did. But yeah, they both should have.
