Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Korchinski handles the puck smoothly on his hip, his good footwork and maneuverability (both of which have come a long way) help him adjust to, away from and around pressure and then he’s a decent playmaker who can make something happen and facilitate out of all of his movement and carries.
I like his stick and his ability to use his feet to defend the rush and disrupt play (though he’s a better transition defender than a defensive-zone one). His hallmark has become his balance over his skates (an area that, astoundingly, was once a major concern before a growth spurt somehow straightened his posture out), allowing him to stay stick-on-stick through stops and starts with opposing carriers.
