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

Connelly is a talented playmaking winger who has been highly productive and consistently flashed exciting individual skill with Tri-City in the USHL, for Team USA at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup (where he led the Americans in scoring with 10 points in five games en route to a bronze medal), the World Jr. A Challenge (where he again led the Americans with 11 points in six games en route to a bronze medal) and the under-18 worlds (where he made some pretty plays and scored a Michigan goal, but also had extended shifts of offensive-zone time in a good pairing with LJ Mooney) before he was ejected from the gold medal game for an illegal check to the head. Last season, he was less noticeable and impactful offensively at Providence and the World Juniors, though he still flashed at both, and he was owed more on the scoresheet in college for all of the touches and carries he executed. After making what many felt was an early move to turn pro, he registered four points in his first six AHL games and made some plays there.
