You contradict yourself.
No. I'm not pretending to be an expert, because none of us are. I'm saying while I may be wrong, it looks like Wheeler should not have been a top 5 draft pick, based on how others were ranked before the draft, and how they are performing now.
Who knows, maybe in 3 or 4 years he'll explode onto the scene and dominate and blow everyone away. But if you look at the facts, no one predicted Wheeler would go at #5, and some of those that were predicted to go before him are producing in the NHL right now.
