Description
What's wheeler worth?
He has 1 year at 8.25m for 1 last year and has a 5 team trade list. He could block trades to not those 5 teams but could have a better chance to have playoff. He still a good 50-60 point winger that can play a good playmaking role while 6'5.

Yes he has the leadership concerns and is valid but going to a new team where he doesn't have to be that kind of player in the room. It's not for a long time and could be useful if he can go to a team with a great captain.

I picked 5 teams that may not be his 5 team trade list but maybe takes a shot at him. So what is he worth and the difference between 50% retained or not. Definitely not expecting a boat load return but also he does have some value and would still be a good player on some teams.

Additional Details:
Colorado lost Landeskog for a year and don't know what's happening with Nichushkin. Could come in and be a great middle six guy and shouldn't cost as much as other options with the avs limited prospect pool

  1. Wheeler, Blake ($4,125,000 retained)
Additional Details:
With the uncertainty around DeBrincat bringing in a cheap replacement for the 2nd line in wheeler could be nice and allow for norris and batherson to get top pp time. Only 1 year and could maybe be a good cheap bet

WPG
TOR
  1. Wheeler, Blake ($4,125,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Toronto may be trading some key players and bringing in wheeler may not be ideal the cheapish price may be a good replacement in a middle six role for a player they may lose

CAR
  1. Wheeler, Blake ($4,125,000 retained)
Additional Details:
With carolina seems like they need a middle six replacement for some players like fast. He could be a cheap pickup and sure may be a rental but similar to ghost a cheap price for an impact greater than the cost

He was a terrible captain just like the piece of 💩 that wore the C before him, good riddance to Blake Wheeler!


Maurice is a terrible coach. Just because Bobrovsky is in God mode doesn’t change that.

Wheeler is a hard one to put a value on. He's still good but there's a lot of smoke out there about him being a locker room cancer... and no one willingly tries to get cancer. I think he stays in WPG and if he's still playing well some team will pay a 2nd or 3rd for him at the deadline.


Notice when you don’t win in Canada there is always a problem with top players. Wait for it. It’s coming to Ottawa soon.

His leader issues, age, and slowing down, makes the cames interest very little. 5th rounder or lower return is only thing makes us pull the trigger on this
