Dallas Star Draft Profile: HIFK Helsinki Defenseman Miro Heiskanen

Name: Miro Heiskanen

Position: Defenseman

Shoots: Left-handed

Hometown: Espoo, Finland

Size: 5-foot-11, 174 lbs.

Team: HIFK Helsinki (SM-Liiga)

Stats: Five goals, five assists, 10 points in 37 games played.

NHL Ceiling: Number-one defenseman

The Dallas Stars are a team that has not had a solid left-shooting defensive core since Trevor Daley and Alex Goligoski were traded away for their respective returns. With three potentially elite right-handed defenders in John Klingberg, Julius Honka, and Stephen Johns, the opposite side of the defense is a major concern right now.
