Thoughts on Heiskanen ROS?

[beefiest]

I see that he has been moved to PP1, at least until Radulov returns. I'm in a points-only league and need some help on D. 12-team, 18-man roster. However, only have 4 more waiver moves on the season, so don't want to waste one.

Thoughts on how Heiskanen will fare this year? Is there upside, or would really need a Klingberg injury to provide solid return?

[senryu]

He's a rookie defenseman typically described as more of an all-around one as opposed to an offense-first one. You're probably looking at a 30-35 point ceiling this season, unless perhaps, Klingberg suffers a season-ending injury soon. If that doesn't merit inclusion in your league, then don't use the pick. With only 4 more waiver moves, I'd probably let him go.

it would help to know your other D... to see if he'd even provide an upgrade.

Also, who else is available to be picked up?

[beefiest]

I have Hedman, Krug, Montour, Theodore and Keith. Start 3 each week. Not dying to pick up a guy, but a bit thin at D (especially with Hedman out) and keeping an eye out for potential upside players.
