Player Discussion Miro Heiskanen 3rd overall 2017 Draft (signed ELC)

[Mr Misty]

And here I was excited when I thought the Stars merely drafted an excellent defensive defenseman. I'm looking forward to our all-Scandinavian top 4 in a couple of years!

They get picky about that

Miro scored his first men's national team goal yesterday's EHT ( Euro Hockey Tour) game vs Russia.
Finland won 3-2 and Miro was player of the game ( 1st star).

Finland's next EHT game is tomorrow ( Saturday) vs Sweden and Sunday Finland faces team Canada.

Miro's first goal in men's national team.

Uusi tähti syttymässä! Leijonakonkarit listaavat: tämän takia Miro Heiskanen, 18, on niin ilmiömäinen | Leijonat

Miro impressed his teammates in his first game in men's national team.
Team Finland defenders Sami Lepistö ( former NHL defenceman and Eeli Tolvanen's teammate from Jokerit) and Atte Ohtamaa praises Miro and his debut.

English comment of Sami Lepistö.
I have paid special attention to his skating.
It's really light looking and fast it sticks to the eye and his game looks really good and mature.
He sees the ice constantly really well. He immediately showed he's a good player. Great to follow his game.

English comment of Atte Ohtamaa ( Eeli Tolvanen's teammate from Jokerit).
He's versatile talent and he has all the top features.
Besides he has a hard faith in his own making.
It's important that he dared to do his own things on the ice.
These are tough games

Also Team Finland head coach Lauri Marjamäki was impressed Miro's men's national team debut.
Here's English comments for coach Marjamäki.

Miro is excellent defenceman i just had to rub the eyes when I looked at his playing.
First men's national team game and moves all the time so smoothly.
All solutions with the puck were there and he was able to support offence and first men's national team goal was the crown.

Miro is good player and it is no coincidence that he got drafted so high in this years NHL draft.
Others have seen it too he's good player.

He seems to have the puck magnetism luck that you can’t teach.

Heiskanen now 7G, 4A in 11 games (although half a game still left from the 11th).

Also, if you are interested to see how he is doing besides the points, this is for you:

Miro's 9th regular season goal vs Ilves Wednesday night

anyone knows what happened with Miro? He didn't play yesterday, and on eliteprospects he listed as injured

Someone in the prospects thread wrote he was slightly banged up and getting rested as a result.

"Miro will rest tonight, not due to injury".

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

It was this situation where Heiskanen got slightly banged up.

Ilves defenceman Juuso Pulli tried hit on Heiskanen and cut front of him.
Heiskanen didn't injure himself which is good but Pulli didn't got a penalty.

Yes that situation looks bad but still no penalty ( i don't know why).
I don't know how this situation would called in NHL.
But i guess this is a clear penalty in NHL ( 2min for interference at least)

 

[jonlin]

Miro Heiskanen 1st game back after injury. 2 goals - one solo effort on the PK and still 13min left. Not bad...

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Starting to worry he is a bit injury prone.....

 

[BB88]

Starting to worry he is a bit injury prone.....

Stupid hit/hits make you think so?

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Well, yeah, kinda. Concussions have hindered more than a few careers. And, having trouble absorbing hits, leading to long periods on IR (see, Martin Hanzel) can be troublesome.

Some great careers have been hobbled by injuries, so while they all get hurt once in a while, twice since being drafted by the Stars is at least something worth watching, even if I am premature in worrying about it.

 

[Satan]

Injury prone lol

Over on the trade rumors page, NYR fans are sure hot to have us trade Miro for McDonaugh. Our board is resisting.

When you think about it, it will be nice to have a young, mobile D corps, with some size, all done by drafting or trading for high ranked draft picks.

Lindell (DAL 2) - Klingberg (DAL 5, our steal round)
Miro (DAL 1) - Johns (CHI 2)
Heatherington (CBJ 2) - Honka (Dal 1)

In a year or two, DAL might be recognized for D again, perhaps comparing with WPG and MN as teams who built their D via the draft. All solid, one or two All Stars, etc. And, the "handedness" seems to work well, as does the puck carrier/stay at home balance. Patyern and Methot spotted in situationally.

I like those pairs a lot

Same here. That D corps has a bit of everything. Sign a vet for your 7th D and we're set

Miro and Kling on the #1 PP and Lindell and Honka on #2

Our D and possible our goaltending is in good shape for the future. We need to work on our forwards, mostly center
