Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
I’ve been a vocal defender of him as a player, though, and his statistical profile is certainly one that almost never misses. He was the QMJHL MVP and the most productive player in major junior hockey not named Connor Bedard over the course of his last three seasons in Halifax. In his post-draft season, he also impressed at the Traverse City Prospects Tournament against bigger, older players. He rattled off 54 goals and 140 points in 64 games two years ago. Before tweaking his hip in Team Canada’s selection camp and playing through it at the World Juniors, he had again stood out in Traverse City (as well as main camp) and had racked up 47 points in 21 games to start the year (a pace which, had he stayed healthy, would have eclipsed his already-unheard-of numbers from a year prior).
