In our May Draft Prospect Rankings, we have Ville Heinola as the 17th best prospect in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft prospect pool. Heinola is a left-handed defenseman who hails from Honkajoki, Finland.
In the Rankings post, we gave a brief description of Heinola and his playing style.
Ville Heinola is a good puck moving defenseman. He has great hockey IQ, great passing and a good shot. He’s good in all three zones. But, he does need to work on his skating as he is a tad slow and needs to get stronger.
