So he's going to be hampered by injuries early in his career?
HIFK has been most injury prone team in SM liiga last years.
But now HIFK's management has recognized that problem and hired conditional coach ( Harri Yrttiaho).
To produce a salary for conditional coach would never have happened if HIFK fans would not have demanded it.
Based on Miro's comments after draft he'll work throughout entire summer to practice with conditional coach.
HIFK as a hockey organisation is one of most followed in Finland.
But the management is full old dinosaurs who not have any clue how to lead professional hockey team in Finland today.
HIFK's chairman Everi is interested only Champions Hockey League and Helsinki Garden project ( new home-arena to HIFK).
GM Valtanen looks only budget and he does not care anything other than money.
Sport Manager Nybondas is lazy, extremely arrogant and cocky ******* who's only passion in the summer is play golf and remix ( drink Alcohol) as much as possible.
Nybondas never learn his mistakes also he doesn't have any clue how to build a team which have realistic chances to play SM liiga championships title every season.
Nybondas also signs a players who's injury history is longer than Mcdonald's hamburger line in Christmas eve and point totals low as possible.
Every post season Nybondas makes excuses how free-agent marketing's are empty.
And HIFK isn't first option to free agent players who are interested to come play in Finland if they won't get NHL / KHL / NLA / SHL contract offers.
Most saddest is that Nybondas has double role in HIFK orgasation he's also GM to HIFK juniors and sport manager HIFK's liiga team.
He's failed in his job several times but still he's able to keep his job.
He also has no liability in any way whatsoever best way to describe this floater is that if he would have been NHL GM he would have been fired years ago ( yes he's that bad).
Dallas stars management should not be worried of Heiskanen's progress he'll have chances to develop his physicality in HIFK.
But developing his offensive upside isn't easy in liiga.
SM liiga is defensive oriented men's league where top defenceman's scores usually 40-45 points per season.
If Heiskanen could score near 35-45 points in liiga next season it'll be very good reading to young defenceman.
