Dude really needs to add some weight. He's still young and if he improves his physical attributes, he can still have a good career in the NHL. Heponiemi is skilled enough to succeed.
Theres still time! maybe he just needs to hit his mid 30's and fatten upImagine how good Heponiemi would be if he wasn't allergic to gym equipment.
Unless he adds another gear to his skating or manages to add 15 lbs without losing his quickness, I don't see it. He's got the raw skill and talent but he just hasn't progressed enough physically. He's too weak on the puck.Anyone see him returning to the NHL?
he is still just 24.
8 games in the NL this season, 8 points (4+4).
