Heidt sure looks like Reilly from Letterkenny.
He’s going to be as good as his strength will take him. His skating is good enough. There’s real skill there, but you’re right. There’s a large gap in the range of outcomes for a guy with his profile.PG finally lost a game , against Iginla and Cristall's team, 2-1. Heidt assisted on the 1 goal, but could've easily had three more points, as players were missing wide open nets from 2' away, and the goalie made some outstanding saves. Heidt also missed a wide open net, albeit from 20' away and in sort of an awkward position.
In some ways I'd like to see him hold onto the puck more, but the way he moves the puck very quickly, and accurately, should play well in higher leagues, where time and space is limited.
Like a lot of prospects, I'd like him to get bigger and stronger. He'll never be more than an average sized player, but there is a big strength difference between a Konecny and Donato, even though they are about the same size. His skating looks above average at the WHL level, but not jaw droppingly so. With some work, and strength gains, he should be at least an average NHL skater.
Does he get the 9 NHL games?I think 1 more year at PG wouldn't be all that bad.
Probably. There’s little risk in giving him an audition. And I have no problem sending him back to juniorDoes he get the 9 NHL games?
I’m good with that.Probably. There’s little risk in giving him an audition. And I have no problem sending him back to junior
You don't need to get rid of them. Just play them in the spots they belong.i agree with playing the young guns, how do you get rid of the aging vets guerin signed?
Was really surprised at how Jarvis overcame his size so early in his NHL career. Heidt looks to be a bit bigger at the same time in their respective development, but doesn't scream NHL to me, at this point. It's unfortunate that it's either the NHL or WHL, as he he is ready for a level above the WHL, but probably not the NHL.Heidt’s strength is going to be an issue in the NHL next year imo. Jarvis has wheels and is a bit thicker in the lower half. Debrincat… who knows.
