Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
I do find he forces things too much by trying to go one-on-one and create something that’s not there. There’s also a hunch to his stride. He has some work to do in the faceoff circle, too. But it’s hard to deny the impressive size-hands combination he has considering his length. He has a real ability to hang onto the puck, draw players into him and then make plays through or around them. He processes the game quickly offensively, knowing where he wants to go with the puck early and constantly pre-surveying so that he always knows where his options are. He makes an unusual amount of soft little plays for a player his size and can attack into coverage because of his hands. He’s really quite comfortable in control of the puck. He’s also got a hard wrister.
