I was just going to say how many Pitlick’s do we need but it’s cap juggling. The first is fine. I know nothing of HeinemanCovering the market on Pitlicks? lol... that's three now.
Now I do7. Emil Heineman, LW/RW, 20 (Leksands IF)
After surviving every top 19-year-old Swede’s transitional year to the SHL last season, Heineman’s shot generation and production have both improved this year despite his minutes (12 a night) staying the same. I honestly think he’s ready for a little more opportunity than Leksands have given him. I also think he’s often a little miscast as a hardworking, hard-shooting, shot-first guy who has a pro frame. He is all of those things and he’s got a pitchfork skating stride that still needs some work (he’s actually a good skater on his edges for my money) but beyond the hustle and the multi-dimensional shot (the hard wrister, the catch-and-release, and the one-touch power), he’s also got sneaky playmaking flair (which I’m confident will show up in the assist column when he gets more talented linemates) and good interior skill. He’s got some things to work on but I won’t be surprised if he works his way from bottom-six SHL scorer, to top-six SHL scorer, to top-six AHL scorer, to NHL option by the time he’s 22-23.

I care more about who we get with the first round pick. Anderson is the only veteran I’d keep.Meh, deal is contingent on what Heineken develops into

I don't think he'd get us a first...Dvorak should stay for now

what if they finish bottom 10 back to back years?
they dont give up a first at all?
I don't think he'd get us a first...
Not holding my breath…I care more about who we get with the first round pick. Anderson is the only veteran I’d keep.

No way he can’t pull another 3-4 firsts if he wanted to. If this draft is up in the air then get as many picks as possible.I care more about who we get with the first round pick. Anderson is the only veteran I’d keep.
I wasn’t but thanks!In case anyone is wondering, Tyler Pitlick will wear #24.
FWIW, we were "apparently" offered the choice between the first round pick OR Jakob Pelletier.Not holding my breath…
