LD Miro Heiskanen - IFK Helsinki, Liiga (2017, 3rd, DAL)

[Filthy Dangles]

I see Victor Hedman in him so much. Basically a finnish Hedman.

I think this guy is gonna end up as the best player of this draft.

 

[Ainec]

don't see hedman myself


saying i'd take him 1st overall isn't looking bad now

Who do you see in him?

 

[Masch78]

Maybe the best player not in the NHL, at least one of them. Dallas got a potential franchise D here imho.

 

[Hokinaittii]

Who do you see in him?

His skating and especially the slide reminds me so much about Karlsson. Of course, I don't think he will produce like Karlsson does but at the same time I see him being a lot more reliable in his own zone than Karlsson.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Who do you see in him?

I think Keith was used as a comparable somewhere. I compared him to Vlasic last year, but I see more offensive potential now.

 

[Leopain]

Jim Nill described him as a franchise changer in an interview with The Athletic.

 

[jballa95]

I see a lot of Keith/Lidstrom in him. I think the player he said he tries to emulate is Keith. I'm not saying he will have a career like either of those two but play style wise I see a lot of similarities.

 

[Ainec]

Who do you see in him?

well the easy and lazy answer for all good skating puck moving dmen of that size is karlsson

 

[Patrik Barkov]

I see Miro Heiskanen in him. Excited to watch him for years to come!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Miro scored his 3rd goal of the play-offs, HIFK wins 4-1 and ties the series 2-2

 

[WhatWhat]

Just a casual 29 minutes for the kid today. Crazy that he wont turn 19 until midway through the summer

 

[Kcb12345]

 

[Hokinaittii]

He will be one of those players who can play 25 minutes on a daily basis in couple of years. What a great asset for Dallas to have.

Crazy to think how much there is still room for improvement.

 

[WhatWhat]

Worth noting Vatanen got 7 in 14. Miro at 8 in 10 beating the point record in 4 less games so far

 

[Patrik Barkov]

Dallas is going to have a crazy good defensive core in the near future

 

[MrHeiskanen]

He will be one of those players who can play 25 minutes on a daily basis in couple of years. What a great asset for Dallas to have.

Crazy to think how much there is still room for improvement.

That is the best part, where can his game top out.. he is only 18. Crazy.

 

[Castle8130]

Who do you see in him?

A better Ristolainen in all areas

 

[Leopain]

A better Ristolainen in all areas

Even physically? Can he play a rough game? Asking genuinely

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Even physically? Can he play a rough game? Asking genuinely

No. He isn't really physical but not in the soft category either.

 

[Memyselfandi]

The only problem is....Ken Hitchkock

 

[oconnor9sean]

If he becomes Duncan Keith 2.0 I’ll be over the moon. His play still reminds me a lot of Keith.

 

[Captain Clutch]

Anyone would be over the moon if he is anything like Duncan Keith, who in addition to being highly skilled and having an elite hockey IQ is the fiercest SOB in the league, his competitiveness in a sport full of alpha males is really off the charts. Come on Miro!

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Looks like he got a 10 minute misconduct in OT today.

Anyone got some insight?

Miro Heiskasella kovat otteet jatkoerässä – käytösrangaistus selästä taklaamisesta
It was this.
2+10 min for that situation is a joke ( Karvinen didn't injure himself and he came back on the ice).
Only 2min would have been OK call.
