Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Entering this season, scouts wanted to really see him take charge more and take over as the guy for the Spirit and that’s exactly what he did, answering the questions some had of him with an emphatic draft year in which he led the league in scoring, was its top player basically from start to finish, and tied Tavares for the most points by a U18 skater in the OHL since 2000 with 134 (in two fewer games than Tavares). I also thought he was one of the standouts of the CHL-USA Prospects Challenge. He didn’t have the same impact in Saginaw’s first-round sweep to Erie, but he was also playing banged up for a second consecutive playoff run. A center coming up, Misa played mostly on the wing in his first two seasons but found another level in the move back to the middle this year, playing to nearly a goal per game and over two points per game.
