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

Scouts have long been fascinated by Lamoureux’s towering 6-foot-7 frame and smooth skating. When you watch him in isolation in a practice setting, it’s easy to see why. He has a short, compact stride for how big he is, he moves really well, his shot explodes off his stick from the point, he’s naturally athletic and coordinated and he has a good first touch. His processing, reads and decision-making have all come a long way to cut down on mistakes and penalties (though he still takes his fair share) and improve his game management with the puck (as well as his choices on when to use his physicality, which has resulted in some discipline at times) as well. His play with the puck has also developed more poise and assuredness. He has also added some muscle to his athletic frame so that he can really impose himself defensively. He plays at a quicker pace now, making his decisions quickly.
