Miro Heiskanen

It's line there.

Although James Higgins did beat Miro Heiskanen for that goal.

Yeah.

But to this point, when is the last time we saw a Boston Bruins head coach, like, successfully implement young talent into the roster? I guess you could say, like, Bruce Cassidy kind of when they brought in DeBrusque, McAvoy, and Carlo, but that flamed out pretty quickly.

No, but I'm saying that's like in the next two or three years, as you start to shake out some of these older guys, I look at a Dallas and I say, why can't we be, you know, they have Oscar, we have Sorokin, they have Ben and Sagan.

We have Horvat, Barzell, they have Heiskanen, we have Schaefer.

Now we got to get those other forward pieces going.

Right.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah, so there's Radish, Sanderson, Carlson, Heiskanen, and then the usual suspects in front of him.

I'm going to say no as well.

I think I'm going to agree with you.

He's putting up some good production so far this year with Denver.

But, like, is he as dynamic an offensive talent as Cal McCarr? You know what I mean? Like, where does he fall once he gets to the show? Because is he more of a Bowen Byram where, like, he's a good two-way defender, but the offense isn't quite as dynamic as you were hoping? Or is he going to be, like, closer to that Quinn Hughes, maybe Miro Heiskanen, Cal McCarr category of puck movers? That's another curious thing I think about with him.

But anyway, I'm getting off topic.

The win now thing is fascinating because Hellebuck pursuit, I do think that says, hey, we're trying to take that next step.

does he wait? Does he have to wait this out? Because certainly the, the Colorado goalies will, get better or does he have to go out there and get someone? Could Connor Hellebuck be coming to Mike?

Well, no, because, um, Brent's goalies were decimated because he lost what's his name from Shesterkin so yeah he had no goalies so he just he just won the lottery with with Hellebuck I think the tough thing for Mike is he's got good stats and he's got good forwards but You know, is it going to cost them Miro Heiskanen and Mitch Marner? Like I've had a few offers for Ilya Sorokin and I told the people who were trying to get them for, it was kind of one of those, you know, I'll throw in this guy and this guy's like two 60 point guys, and I'll take Sorokin off your hands kind of deal.

Um, and I was like, nah, if I'm going to trade Sorokin, especially in the position I'm in, I'm either going to get.

the best keeper in the league, it that's $25 or $10, or I'm going to get a Nathan McKinnon because Ilya Sorokin is the goalie equivalent of a Nathan McKinnon.

As long as the Islanders have him and Sorokin, they're going to be just fine.

It's kind of a little bit shades of Miro and Andrzej.

Won't make those comparisons every game, but I always look for the core, goaltender, defenseman forward.

Certainly, the Islanders have...

That narrative is not here yet, but when you look at the third period that all three goals for the Stars were scored five on five, they don't need it, and that's a great sign.

Dallas continuing to score five on five is just music to our collective ears.

The Islanders did catch... uh, the stars slipping a little bit and that, um, you know, that was a weird turnover, uh, a good four check by, uh, Heinemann on, uh, Miro and you just don't see Miro get lose puck battles like that very often it's just not very common um so um but yeah I mean Declare had it behind the net and then I mean Sagan was in position but not really I mean he had to stick there and then puck just went right past him I'm not sure what I would have wanted to see from Sagan there but just you know probably closer on him a little bit more physical on him instead of just letting him have an easy pass to Shen in the slot.

But, you know, Shen didn't waste any time and, you know, leveled the game at 3-3.
