gold star for USAHOF

33. Miro Heiskanen

33. Miro Heiskanen

All-Rookie player in 2018-19, Finnish Defenseman, Miro Heiskanen is living up to the hype that a Third Overall Pick should be.

Heiskanen, who has played five years for Dallas to date, has managed to score at least 30 Points in four of them, and had it not been for the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign, he would have made it five-for-five  Finishing 12th in Norris voting in both 2019/20 and 2021/22, Heiskanen broke out offensively last year with a 73 Point performance netting him a seventh-place Norris Trophy finish.

Heiskanen has a lot more good hockey in him, and we think he will rocket up this list if he stays in Dallas.
