Zachary Wheeler - Moncton Flyers U18 AAA (2025 NHL Draft)

[austin63867]

Curious on any info on this guy. Looks to be the top NB guy for the 2023 Q draft. From the few clips I've seen, he has a very good shot and looks to have good vision on the ice. Curious on any other thoughts on him. Played U18 in 21-22 and put up decent stats over a PPG there. His 1.13 is actually 2nd by guys with more than 1GP behind Sean Couturier (1.38)

Great size, plays a pretty pro style game already. I think it will come down to how much he can improve his skating. Definitely pro potential here.

Yeah his skating looked fine for U18, definitely curious if he'll get to a QMJHL level soon. His size definitely does stand out but he isn't just a big guy, which is usually something I look for in a taller guy to see he's not just dominant off of that. His game looks solid from the few clips I could collect of him. Definitely hope to see more in the future.

He'll play at 16 without a doubt. Would have him as a top 5 pick for the Q draft next year at the moment.

The hockey sense, competitiveness, size are already there to play to be honest, but dominating U18 will be great for him. He did very well as an underage.

Where do you see him compared to Lecompte, Morin & Carrier?

I have all 3 of Carrier, Lecompte and Wheeler in my top 5 and Morin a little bit further down but still in my top 10.

At the end of the day, they are all pretty close, don't think there is much separation in there. I'd add Caleb Desnoyers in that pack and Liam Kilfoil if he ever decides to play Q.
