Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
I remain a believer in him becoming a high-tempo, top-nine forward. He has been prone to injuries over the years, though, and staying healthy is going to be really important. I think he has some PP upside due to his shooting/skill package and five-on-five upside because of his skating and motor. Even in games where the points don’t fall, he’s usually making something happen — and he’s seldom going to leave you wanting more. His speed might even make him a useful penalty killer and give him all-situations value in the NHL as well. I do see why some wonder about him as well, though, and the clock will start to tick if he can’t establish himself as a regular in Edmonton next season.
