This is one guy I've changed my mind on. The kid looks to be legit.
I was high on Debrusk and Kuraly. Now, not so much.

When did I say I've soured on Debrusk so much? He just doesn't seem as good as the first 5 games or so.Not sure why you were ever high on Kuraly. He is what he is; a 4th liner. I don't understand how you've soured on DeBrusk that much. Is it just the shtick? Always needing to be negative on something?

I was high on Kuraly basically for his efforts in the playoffs last year. Looks like Cassidy likes him seeing as he seems to somehow remain a mainstay.
He really has played well
I don't think it's a question is he a regular NHL talent but is he top 6 worthy?
We've seen Lucic, Bergeron, Marchand, and Krejci evolve into that category and I think it's very possible Heinen has that ability
Our wings on the first couple lines are very good when you consider Pastrnak and Marchand occupy 2 of the four spots but Bjork, Heinen, and DeBrusk all look they could join them
I don't see anything besides a career altering injury stopping him from being a regular Top 6 guy.
Danton Heinen’s play calls for permanent NHL status - The Boston Globe
Officially, Danton Heinen is not a permanent NHLer.
He is living in team-provided housing, awaiting approval to find his own spot or return to Providence. The former is more likely to be in his future.
“I think it’s too early to say he’s here for good,” said coach Bruce Cassidy. “But I certainly don’t envision him leaving anytime soon either the way he’s played.”
Cassidy’s hesitancy to update Heinen’s status clashes with how promptly he’s pitched the rookie into the deep end. For the last two games, Cassidy has placed Heinen alongside top-liners Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak in Brad Marchand’s usual spot. It may not be coincidence the Bruins won both games against San Jose and Los Angeles. The 22-year-old, who once showed little urgency and even less strength on the puck, has played adult hockey in his pursuit of permanent NHL residence.
Didn't Fltuo post about Heinen having a high chance of staying with the bruins long term this year ... and then Haggerty writing about the exact same thing afterwards?
Eating crow on Heinen and Cehlarik. Tastes good.
Normand Leveille and Jonathan Girard looked promising as well. Can’t forget Savvy either.Nice. Let me provide a little history lesson: Bobby Orr, Cam Neely, Al Iafrate, Gord Kluzak, and there are a few more.
Has any team lost more top end talent due to career ending injuries than Boston ?

how do you feel about Ryder and his time hereNot sure what this has to do with Heinen? Leveille had an aneurysm and Girard a car accident. Savard was already an established player.
I’m in the Heinen thread, right? Talk about out of left field.

I replied with several B's stars that had career ending injuries, and OConnellsProtege added a few more.
good lord, who said that? Crazy, the kid is 24 games into his NHL career and a poster talking about this? #WAYTOOMUCHTIMEONTHEIRHANDSSomeone said something along the lines of "Heinen should be a good one unless he has a career ending injury"

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.
Personally, I find the idea of discussing a potential career ending injury for a young player and mentioning other B’s that’s happened to a bit morbid. To each his own I guess?
