Heiskanen is so underrated. And I love McAvoy but this should not be tied.
Is he though??
Considering he wasn't considered a top 5 rookie by 38 writers last season, yes, he is.
Dallas games start on the east at 8:00 or 8:30pm. Do you really think most people are in bed be then? That’s prime hockey watching time when all the rays chores and tasks are done.I still can't believe that, that is so hilarious. East Coast reporters in bed by the time West Cost games start I guess.
Well at the same time some lists has Heiskanen as a top 25-30 defenseman which he isn't currently.Considering he wasn't considered a top 5 rookie by 38 writers last season, yes, he is.

Heiskanen had a very good rookie season and was a thrill to watch with his puck moving ability, good speed and mature two-way game. However he hasn't put up the results for me analytic wise. He doesn't grade out as #1 defenseman/top 25-30 defenseman in possession, isolated impact at 5v5, shot contribution and GAR. He is a very talented defenseman and could absolutely cement himself as a 1D next season league standard. Although he isn't going to surpass Klingberg as Dallas best defenseman next season.Why not?
I'd put money on him being the #1D in Dallas this season.
Anyone’s who voted McAvoy here that’s isnt a Bruins fan should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm not denying Heiskanen is a great player because he is. Miro just isn't a 1D in my opinion as of right now.Heiskanen carried Polak as his D-partner as a rookie, he& Lindell kept the stars in it when Klingberg went down.
He already did at times last season, not on #1pp but at es. He's going to be a 3zone beast.
Anyone so certain of this after just one season has a spurious analytical ability, in my opinion. You could very well be right in this particular case, but more I'd wager that more often that not you'll miss the mark because the foundation relies too much on projection.
