June 22, 20196 yr Author https://lastwordonhockey.com/2019/04/17/ville-heinola-scouting-report/ Looks like he is projected to be a top 4 defence man with possible top pairing potential. Quote Projection and Comparison Heinola is a real boom or bust type of prospect. With his intelligence and skill set, he could develop into a top pair defenceman who can run his team’s power play. The skating will need to improve for him to reach that ceiling, but even if it does not, he could still become a second pair player with offensive upside. Improvements in his upper and lower-body strength would also help him to reach those levels. Heinola’s style is reminiscent of Miro Heiskanen but this is not a comparison based on skill or ability.

June 22, 20196 yr Hey Chevy....I was just kidding about trying to be like St. Louis and building a team of players all from one country...heh heh...I get why you might be a bit choked with the US right now after the Trouba situation...but....yeesh...
June 22, 20196 yr Does Chevy hate Canadian kids? We seem to draft a ton of guys from the US or Scandanavia
June 22, 20196 yr Jets have realized that all these guys will have fiancees in Scandinavia and there's no NHL teams there 'Oh your hottie is lonely... maybe she'd like to move to, say, Gimli...?'

You mean where they brew the Crown Royal.................................okay Don't like what we got for Trouba but that asshat had us over a barrel...what goes around comes around....Heinola looks a little slow on the blades but has pretty good puck sense and handles the puck fairly well.....Long term development needed....I smell some rebuilding around the corner Edited June 22, 20196 yr by Stickem
