2024 Fantasy Outlook
Heinola has been a disappointment as he has managed to see action in only 27 games over the last four seasons, after exciting fantasy players with a goal and four assists in eight games as an 18-year-old rookie. Heinola did not play in the NHL last season, as he played 41 regular-season games with AHL Manitoba, scoring 10 times while adding 17 helpers. Heinola is still only 23 years of age and the Jets have not given up on him, signing the Finn to a two-year contract in the offseason. He was already in tough to make the Jets' Opening Night roster before suffering an ankle infection in training camp. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with the Jets in July of 2024.
Back from conditioning loan
DWinnipeg Jets
November 24, 2024
Heinola (ankle) was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Manitoba on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Winnipeg moved Dylan Samberg (foot) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. After recovering from his September ankle surgery, Heinola had one assist in two minor-league outings during his conditioning stint. He could make his season debut with the Jets on Monday versus Minnesota due to Samberg's absence.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Selected with the 20th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, Heinola could shake up a Jets blue line that is already going through a significant overhaul following the departures of Jacob Trouba, Tyler Myers and Ben Chiarot. Given the club's number of young defensive prospects, it seems likely the 18-year-old will spend another year in Finland developing his game, but a strong showing in camp could throw a wrench in that plan. Owners in dynasty formats would do well to try to stash him away, as it likely won't be long until he joins Winnipeg full time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely headed to minors
DWinnipeg Jets
January 9, 2024
Heinola, who is recovering from a broken ankle, will probably spend some time in the minors, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Heinola has yet to make his season debut after suffering his ankle injury in the preseason and may need some time in the minors to get his legs under him. Even once cleared to play, Heinola is far from a lock for a spot in the lineup and would likely have to challenge Dylan Samberg for minutes.
