Former Canadien Emil Heineman Is Proving Why the Islanders Wanted Him So Badly
Blazing start for Heineman, as after 6 games with his new team, he already has four goals and one assist.
Islanders fans didn't stay disappointed for long after losing Noah Dobson.
Indeed, Emil Heineman is having a very strong start to the season.
Without taking anything away from either player, I truly believe this is a trade we can already call a win-win.

On that note, a member of "Barstool Sports" shared how incredible he thinks Heineman is.
"Heineman with 3 goals already, the Canadiens tossed this guy in on top of two first rounders? He's incredible."

In his first season in Montreal, Heineman was already a fan favorite.
It seems it didn't take him long to do the same thing in New York.
Emil Heineman is already impressing with the New York Islanders
The former Canadiens player is playing on the top line in New York - something he never had the chance to do in Montreal.
Even though he's only 23 years old, he's already on his 4th team.
Normally, that might look like a red flag, but not in his case.
On the contrary, teams often include him in trades because of his reputation for having a powerful shot that causes damage.
He's on a line with none other than Jonathan Drouin, another former member of the Habs.
Despite a strong start for both former Canadiens - with 4 points (3-1) for Heineman and 4 points (1-3) for Drouin - Patrick Roy's squad currently sits last in the Metropolitan Division after 6 games.
For now, Noah Dobson brings stability to the Canadiens' defensive corps.
But if Heineman keeps this up and becomes a 30-goal scorer per season, people will start asking questions.
