Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Boisvert has the desired height and position on his side, room to fill out his once-wiry frame (which he already added a bunch of muscle to the last two summers; he still looks lean with further growth to come) and NHL skill and competitiveness. Intangibles come up a lot when you speak to people about him (he even dropped the gloves a few times last year, including in the playoffs). The skill includes a quick and accurate NHL-level release, good instincts on and off the puck, above-average feet (he’s a decent skater, even if a little upright in his stance), a developing power game and great feel with the puck on his stick both at speed and in slowing the game down (though a high grip and long stick can occasionally limit him with the puck so far out in front of his body). Add in his impressive work ethic and a two-way commitment, and there’s a lot to like. He has to put some more weight on (he’s listed at 6-foot-2 and about 180 pounds now) and improve in the faceoff circle (which will come with more strength) but there’s a projectable game there with the right development/refinement. With continued development, he projects as an impactful third-line center who could play up your lineup if needed. I’m looking forward to seeing the impact he can have at BU this year following his trasnfer from North Dakota.
