There's been quite a bit of controversy swirling around whether the Bruins should keep Heinen or not. He might not be your typical fourth-line player, but his offensive skills could really help the team. With the Bruins losing some offensive firepower in the offseason, having a depth player who can score could be a good thing. It's not confirmed yet, but if the Bruins do decide to give Heinen a contract, it would probably be around the league minimum of $775,000.
But there's a catch�they'd need to free up some salary cap space before offering any contracts. There's no guarantee that Heinen will make it to the Opening Night roster. He'll need to perform well in camp and during the preseason.
Still, what makes Heinen valuable is his versatility. He can play different forward positions, contribute on special teams, and has a lot of experience. These qualities make him a player the Bruins should seriously think about keeping.
