I assume I'm one of the targets of this free early attack
Heiskanen is great, aside from his concussion he is looking even better than last season. The reason I didn't draft him is I think in terms of fantasy production Mitts was/is the safer asset, it's not like I wasn't a fan of Heiskanen. Miro doesn't play a physical game (I don't mind that in real hockey, but fantasy wise is less than ideal for a D you pick at the top end of the draft) and he is not necessarily going to be a big point producer in the NHL (it's looking probable right now, but may depend on if his team will have other PP specialists to rely on for PP1).
btw, if not Mitts, the player I would have drafted if I were to go for what I felt would have been a riskier selection was not Heiskanen.
In fact that's the player I tried to trade for during and after the draft (while I don't think I ever made an offer for Heiskanen).
I'm perfectly fine with the way Mitts has looked since the draft though, wish I would have been able to land both my early targets like I thought would happen when I selected the American.
Anyways, I can only be happy with how my '17 draftees have been looking so far.
Kostin, Tolvanen, Jokiharju, Davidsson, Elvenes, Tarasov.. all off an encouraging start, but thanks for your concern.
