Inside Scott Wheeler’s Bold 2022 NHL Draft Shake-Up: Which Stars Rise and Fall?

As for where to rank him here, there are two top tiers in this re-draft for me: 1-3 and 4-12/13. I thought about re-ranking him a little lower here, and some would, but he belongs firmly in the second tier for sure, and I think at the front of it somewhere.

5. Philadelphia Flyers: LW Cutter Gauthier

Actual draft pick: No. 5 (change: none) to Philadelphia 
My final ranking: No. 18 (change: +13)

Gauthier is another one that I’ve already written about in my players I was wrong about column. He was a difficult evaluation for a few reasons. Scouts weren’t sure if he was a center or a winger (I put too much emphasis on assigning him as a winger). He also played on a line with two other top prospects in Cooley and Jimmy Snuggerud, and there were constant questions about who was driving whom, and who the benefactors were from the talent around them.
