Heinen was called up by Columbus on Thursday.

Rotowire Mon, Dec 29, 2025 at 4:09 PM

Columbus acquired Heinen, a 2026 second-round pick (St. Louis) and a 2027 third-round draft pick (Washington) from Pittsburgh on Monday in exchange for Yegor Chinakhov.

Scouting Report

The all-purpose forward can play either wing position and fit up and down the lineup. A big reason for his versatility is his skating ability, but he also has pretty good hands and a willingness to get his nose dirty in front of the net. Adding strength would help him win more puck battles and also earn him more consistent playing time.

Long Range Potential: Versatile scoring forward.
