I'd be so down with that. I think he'd do a fantastic job with those two. Most players would, especially smart ones.
Reminds me so much of Donny Marcotte - probably sees offensive game better and hard pressed to have that defensive game but there are many of the 8 slices of the pie that lineup with these two.
Side note - just offered Glorydaze in the SIM Timothy Liljegren for Danton Heinen. Does he do it ?
This year will decide if Heinen is for real or is at best a fourth liner.
The jury is still very out on him
i'd rather see him centering the 3rd line, but am sure he will be fine wherever he plays.
one downside of using him on the top line is he'll probably leech a lot of points, leading
to an inflated contract next summer.

47 point rookie. 4th liner.![]()

I admit there are players I think might be more FUN to watch, but the people that doubt the quality of Heinen blow my mind. Guy will put up 60+ with Bergeron and Marchand.
I knew someone would overrate that stat.. he was MIA since half season or so and struggled in the playoffs.. The jurers are out
Are you implying he should be playing on the first line?
What's your point.? What's mind boggling to me how much he is glorified because of one half season of good hockey for a rookie. He was a ghost for the most part after that and unimpressive in the playoffs.
If he's for real and maybe he is
This is the season for him to prove it.

Danton Heinen: 77 Games Played -- 16 Goals -- 31 Assists -- 47 Points -- 0.61 PPG
First 38 Games Played = 10 Goals -- 20 assists -- 30 Points -- 0.79 PPG
Last 39 Games Played = 6 Goals -- 11 assists -- 17 points -- 0.44 PPG
I find it funny that 0.44 PPG pace is "MIA since half the season". Regardless of his 2nd half dip in production, he still produced like that of a higher end 3rd liner. But yep..... Jury is still out! Could be "at best" a 4th liner!![]()

I like that he said Heinen had "one half season of good hockey for a rookie" as if to say his numbers are good for a rookie and not good for basically 90% of players

Were you one of the few here who didn't like Heinen but got really quiet when he showed he could play?

Here we go ..did u watch him in the second half .he dropped off anyone knows that .at one point he couldn't score
It's like someone who reads about an event of some sort and writes about it and someone who witnesses it himself.
Here let me refresh and be flagrant..he suked pretty much a good part of the second half which he continued to do into the playoffs.
If he doesn't produce more and again maybe he will .....he'll be lucky to get first line minutes at Providence..At least there he can shine in the playoffs.
Heinen outscored all but 26 other LWs in the NHL last season according to NHL.com. This is a troll job if I've ever seen one.
curious to see how heinen plays if they do shift him to RW. last year, cassidy went out of his
way to note that heinen was not comfortable/useful on that side. he's a really smart kid and
apparently spent time this summer working on pucks off the wall on the RW, so we'll see
how much improvement there's been.
