Danton Heinen at fourteen

• Position: C

Danton Heinen is light for a professional hockey player. This has left him with fewer opportunities than your average Hal-Gill-Sized player, but he's certainly made the most of it. Through the last few years of various junior leagues and through last year in the NCAA, he's been top-25 in scoring rate, and never dipped under a point per game. He won a championship in the PIJHL (I hadn't heard of it either).

Last year, the Denver Pioneers made the Frozen Four regionals. They blew BC out of the water, 5-2, but lost to eventual National Champions Providence 4-1 in their regional finals. Danton Heinen led that team in scoring as a freshman. If he can keep filling the net, one of the last Chiarelli draft picks in Boston could end up being a steal in the fourth round.
