Rich Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Posted June 22, 2019 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.

FrostyWinnipeg 1
rebusrankin Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Does Chevy hate Canadian kids? We seem to draft a ton of guys from the US or Scandanavia FrostyWinnipeg 1
Floyd Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 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...?' rebusrankin, Brandon and FrostyWinnipeg 3

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, 2019 by Stickem
Rich Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Posted June 22, 2019 Barring a trade, Jets final pick in the draft is goalie Logan Neaton
