Scratch beneath the surface of Danton Heinen and his ‘average’ numbers for the Boston Bruins and you’ll find there’s far more to the player than a decidedly average record when it comes to his points production.
Fact is many fans saw his points production decline this season and nothing more. The fact that he went from being a near 50-point guy the previous year to one that barely topped 30 points this year is all they need to see before calling for him to be traded.
Now, Danton Heinen has done himself no favours among this section of the fan base by opting for salary arbitration, however it is his right as an NHL player.
