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

Wood was the youngest player in college hockey in his draft year (he was, for a moment, its only 17-year-old) and stepped right in to become an impactful offensive player and eventually the leading scorer on a good UConn team (albeit as a winger after playing mostly center at the Jr. A level, though he’s comfortable at all three forward positions). Two seasons ago, his counting stats as a sophomore took a bit of a hit, moving from 34 points in 35 games to 28 points in 35 games, but most of that was the byproduct of a much weaker UConn team (a team he still led in scoring by five goals and six points) — although it did highlight concerns some have about his ability to be a driver/his need to play with other good players who can get him pucks. Last season, after a transfer to Minnesota, he played to a point per game as the Golden Gophers’ second-leading scorer and was cut as a returnee to Team Canada ahead of the World Juniors before signing and registering one point in six NHL games.
