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

He has played some very high-level hockey for a while now (three springs ago to finish strong at the NTDP, again at the World Junior Summer Showcase, again at two World Juniors and as a big-time freshman and sophomore in college) and projects as a first-pairing, play-driving, extremely involved defenseman with a real chance at stardom.

Dickinson is a very projectable defenseman who has size, high-end skating and an offensive game that really rounded into form two seasons ago and took an even bigger step last year on route to 30-plus minutes per game as the best D in the CHL. Three years ago, he stepped right onto a deep Knights blue line at 16 (which is rare), and played bigger minutes by year’s end than some drafted guys (which is rarer), including in key situations in the playoffs. Two seasons ago, he played a leading role in all facets of the game on another strong London team (which included successfully quarterbacking one of the power-play units and developing his shot into more of a weapon to nearly hit 20 goals), making two huge plays in the Memorial Cup final. Last year, his game continued to expand as a dominant two-way force who crushed huge minutes to incredible on-ice results and a Memorial Cup win.
