    Default Heinola

    First player born in the 21st century to score a goal in the NHL.

    OK, other than this random fact, he has 4 points in 5 games - very small sample size. WPG's defence is deplete so he has a chance to stick this year but he is too small, maybe not quite ready for a full NHL season.

    What do you guys think of him? Upside? Projections for next 3 years?
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    The thing is he is getting a shot and he is making the most of it. Ya know if you have a guy on your team that you can dump why not give this guy a chance and see where it goes.

    Inexperience at this level and some slightness of body is going to cause his gas tank to run out by New Years'. If his job was to evade defensemen, that'd be one thing. His ability to maintain, such as it is, is impressive, but as far as fantasy relevance, I don't think the track of his progression will change much from what conventional wisdom was in September.

    Interesting. What do you see his fantasy relevance over the next 3-4 years?

    I was looking at him because I don't think I can afford to wait for Dante Fabbro to come around. Ultimately I think Sean Walker might be in a better spot than both of them.
