Dallas Stars Daily Links: Miro Heiskanen’s Trajectory

Miro Heiskanen is a special hockey player — practically every Dallas Stars fan knows that by now. Just two years into his career, the Finnish defenseman already looks like a future Norris Trophy winner one day.

But just how high is his ceiling? In his recent comparison piece, Dom Luszczyszyn sees Heiskanen following a similar career trajectory as another former Top 3 draft pick: Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty.

Both defensemen... play 24 minutes per night, face very tough usage, are good for roughly 10 goals and 40 points and are very strong in their own end with exceptional expected and actual goals against rates.
