Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?

The BCHL’s leading scorer while playing on a line with his older brother Josh (a player I vouched for as a worthy late-round flier) and one of the top-producing freshmen in college hockey two seasons ago while doing the same, Nadeau’s hands, skating and shooting all get high grades. I and others thought his decision to go one-and-done and turn pro was a little premature, but he found his groove as his rookie season in the AHL went on and finished tops in the league in U20 scoring, led the Wolves in goals with 32, and finished second on the team in points with 58 in 64 (one back of Ryan Suzuki in five fewer games). He was just OK at the World Juniors and had some vanilla stretches in the AHL, but was consistently productive and found the zip to his game whenever he briefly lost it, producing on a low-scoring team and really threatening on the flank on the power play (where Hockey Canada didn’t use him).
