And he's stuck in junior this season all to give Gaglardi"s Junior team a bump.

Wheeler has Stankoven as a top-10 NHL prospect after World Juniors and everything else.
Wheeler has Stankoven as a top-10 NHL prospect after World Juniors and everything else.
He’s got a strong release. He can break down defenders in traffic. He’s a sneaky-good facilitator. He’s got clear power-play upside, I think he’s got legitimate penalty-kill upside, and it’s not hard to imagine him as a third-line scorer who plays an honest game or high-skill top-six piece who can play the part of play-driver or play-finisher. He’s going to endear himself to fans, too. I don’t see his size as an issue. It’s an advantage in more ways than a disadvantage.
Add in superb quick-draw acumen in the faceoff circle, the fact that he’s the hardest worker on every shift, his pace, his consistency, and how dominant he has become along the cycle/below the goal line and there’s very little not to like. He can beat you in straight lines, beat you in stop and starts to change directions, beat you standing still with his shot, or just outwork you. And he almost never gets knocked over. I expect him to play in the NHL next season after a run at the Memorial Cup.

A 4th rounder gets an ELC.
Boxscore scouting says he's having a good season in the OHL.

Not a flattering picture. Kinda looks like a downs syndrome guy.

Looking at his stats, I thought they were just so-so. Then I realized he is a defenseman.

Goalie fights look a lot funnier now that they are so puffed up with pads. Like a weird mix of WWE and Sumo.
you don't realize that your pants are too long until you walk to get a taco in the rain.

Askurov (whatever) is the guy who bench pressed a net the other day.

He's tearing up the OHL. A second round offensive d-man.

His brother is really good. So hopefully it runs in the family.

He's one of these undrafted late bloomer types.

I don't ever mind these type of signings. If they don't work out, the organization is not really any worse off. If they hit, awesome. He's an outlier, but Panarin was never drafted.

Fine. Score 50 in the show, and we'll bring back the Mooterus.
