An elite two-way defenceman in the making, Miro Heiskanen has a toolbox bursting at the seams. Very smooth skater whose general agility and athleticism is excellent and on display every shift. A confident puck mover with no issues running a play himself and starting a transition up-ice. Solid creativity and impressive puck skills. Always makes the high percentage play and doesn't put teammates in dangerous or vulnerable positions. Willingness to play a physical game is not an issue, as he is often seen throwing the body. Defensively very diligent and proactive, keeping the opposition to the outside and cutting off open and common lanes. [EP 2017]

very calm and confident player..intelligence and agility allow him to easily find options even when opponents have a strong forecheck going
—Draftin Europe 2017

Hockey is an easy game for him, combining his skating and vision does that. He is as close as it gets to a can't-miss prospect defenseman
—Draftin Europe 2017

Carries the puck confidently up the ice and into the offensive zone…has impressive vision…makes very good passes
—Futureconsiderations.ca 2017

He’s calm on powerplay and makes great decisions. He knows when it’s time shoot and when it’s time to pass
