In the following 2021–22 season while with Leksands, Heineman's NHL rights were included in a trade package by the Flames along with Tyler Pitlick and draft picks to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Tyler Toffoli on 14 February 2022.[4] In his first full season in the SHL, Heineman appeared in 38 regular season games, registering a career best 11 goals and 16 points. At the conclusion of his season with Leksands, Heineman was signed by the Canadiens to a three-year, entry-level contract commencing in the 2022–23 season on 4 April 2022. He was assigned on a professional tryout (PTO) to join their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Laval Rocket, for the remainder of the season.[5]
