While the Canadiens were going nowhere during the 2021-22 season, Marc Bergevin was fired, and Kent Hughes was hired a few months later.
While Mesar is currently tearing it up in the OHL, Heineman is ready to make the leap to the NHL, and he is playing his first career game as of writing.
His specialty is the same position as Cole Caufield, but on the right side. He scores plenty of goals with one-timers from that spot, and he is very responsible defensively.
The future will tell us if Heineman is indeed the player he has the potential to become, but one thing is for sure, this could turn out to be quite a steal by Kent Hughes.
