‘He’s going to blow people away’: Stars rookie Heiskanen already impressing
Stars defenceman Marc Methot heard the rumour this off-season that his old team wanted blue-line prospect Miro Heiskanen as part of any trade package involving Erik Karlsson.
The two-time Norris Trophy winner’s partner for five seasons with the Ottawa Senators, Methot knew perhaps better than anyone what Karlsson could bring to Dallas.
After playing alongside Heiskanen in the first month of his NHL career, it’s also clear to him why any potential deal involving the 19-year-old was probably a non-starter.
“Now that I’ve seen him play, I wouldn’t do that either,” Methot said. “He’s got so much potential.”
