That goal was very similar to his 4th goal. I had to check if I was watching the most recent goal. 
I don't think Sport had any shot attempts in the 2nd period when Heiskanen was on ice, at least not on goal. He is great at pressuring opponents towards the boards and then just stripping the puck off them.

Can't imagine how much this thread would have posts if he was a prospect of a team that has a bigger fanbase here.

Heiskanen quite easily. Heiskanen is already a top-3 defender in the league whereas Juolevi, while not being bad, hasn't really separated himself from the rest yet.
Heiskanen just scored his second goal of the night. Hat trick incoming?

If Miro would have been late birthday and 2018 draft eligible.
So would he have had a realistic chance to challenge Rasmus Dahlin 1st overall.

Well Miro Heiskanen is pretty late born player for his draft and already one of the best players in liiga. I think he could be future Duncan Keith/Drew Doughty if everything pans out. If that happens he would be best defenseman ever from Finland.
Rasmus Dahlin in the other hand is exceptional talent. It's early to call him generational but he has potential become generational defenseman. It's harder to judge D's because they have different learning curve than fowards.
I don't think there is many if any GMs who would pick Heiskanen over Dahlin.

It took Heiskanen 10 games to match his last years point totals. He had 10 points in 37 games and now has 6+4 in 10 games.

Heiskanen is dominating the entire league
But Juolevi seems to be improving, and is now on the top pairing today.

And while his points and goals are impressive, the most impressive thing is his play in the defensive zone. Best D in Liiga. If he had been in the Dallas camp, he probably would be playing in the NHL right now. Instead of that we see him play for Finland at the WJC and probably at the olympics too. Fun times.

Yeah, feels like only Finns care about Heiskanen here
And even we aren't hyping him that much, the guy's dominating Liiga and gets few comments here& there.
Going to fly underrated this whole season on HF.
