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

A toolsy, rangy forward (Rehkopf has played a lot at both center and wing, but was primarily a center in the OHL over the last couple of years) with good straight-line speed and an NHL shot and skill, Rehkopf can impress with his one-on-one ability for his size, his puck control and his ability to make plays in direct attacking sequences. He impressed scouts in a depth role with Canada at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and was cast as a bit of a potential two-way-checker type at the next level in some early conversations I had with scouts. But that’s not how he is known around the OHL. He was perceived to be a one-dimensional offensive player in his minor hockey days (including by Kitchener when it picked him) and that has become more how he’s viewed nowadays (which was evident in the way Team Canada staff spoke about him as basically only a scorer ahead of and during his two World Juniors, both of which I felt he should have been used more in).
