Heimosalmi was drafted 44th overall by the Hurricanes at the 2021 NHL Draft on Saturday.
Scouting Report
The smooth-skating Finn is more likely to carry the puck than pass it if he is given time and space. He has tremendous mobility, so he can affect the game at both ends of the ice. Small by NHL standards, his skating ability and overall skills should compensate for his obvious lack of size.
Long Range Potential: Smooth-skating two-way defenseman.
