Mathieu Darche prioritized Emil Heineman in the deal that sent Noah Dobson to Montreal, targeting Heineman as a priority acquisition. Emil Heineman, 23, joins the New York Islanders after scoring 10 goals and eight assists in 62 games last season. Darche highlighted Heineman's competitiveness, physicality, skating, and a high-velocity shot that can score.
