I think PIT and DET are both decent options for Heinola both could use an extra lottery ticket on the left side D and both have extra mid round picks.
Heinola+5th for 3rd
With some condition on the 3rd that PIT gets to pick which of thier 3rds they send. Could pretty much make the exact same deal with Detroit

No opportunity? He just needs to be better than Logan Stanley. That shouldn't be a major obstacle.

Funny how it works though. You'd think Erik Brannstromm would easily be better than Keaton Middleton or Derek Forbort but there he is playing in Hartford now. Thing about being an offensive player is you produce offense or somebody who has a "bigger" impact can take your job.
I can't think of 5 teams that need Ville Heinola. He could get a chance somewhere else, but he could also be in the A again within a year with the wrong destination. Maybe he's better in Winnipeg with the people he knows, and the NHL paycheque, with NHL travel to NHL cities, in a lesser role, on a healthy team, at this time of his career.
Maybe you are wrong about Brannstrom too.
Who said Ville is an offensive player? He has one assist in 16 games with the softest deployment possible. Logan Stanley is more offensive, again this isn’t a high bar. Here’s the thing about being an offensive player in the NHL especially as a defenseman, you need to get the puck back from the other team. Defense matters.
