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

He was drafted where Josh Morrissey was and had a better first pro season. I don’t think a similar path as a 30-something point D who breaks out for more in his late-20s like Morrissey is out of the question here, and moving on from David Jiricek cleared the path for him to continue to be prioritized (though it was already pretty clear that he’d leapfrogged Jiricek even before the trade). I’d listen to arguments for Mateychuk behind the next few players on this list, but I’d stop there. At his floor, I think we’re probably looking at a better version of what Rasmus Sandin is on a good Capitals team.
