The problem with Heinola's request is that Winnipeg has plenty of defenseman already patrolling the blueline. It's a long season and players get hurt a lot. As the season progresses, Heinola might be wise to seize an opportunity when a defenseman gets injured once he's recalled. It sounds like he is starting to running out of patience. As a former first round pick, Winnipeg could get value back if they decided to trade him and they don't plan on putting him in the lineup.
There is usually always teams in the market for a defenseman. Does Winnipeg really want to give up on their first round pick though? Good, young, and inexpensive defenseman are a true asset for any NHL club. Stayed to tuned to see how this situation plays itself out.
