Wheeler's best recent defensive season came away from scheifele, as youvr alluded to, while at C though paired with Ehlers and Roslovic in 19-20. He needs to be away from the scheifele and Connor stack. Idk who drags down who, but the line hasn't worked.
Wheeler was quite good by xG% away from Scheifele last season. I think you have to staple Ehlers and Scheifele together next year.

I think he was primarily next to PLD who was one of the league leaders in registering in XGF on offense which would make sense.

I'd like to see wheeler add some offense to the third line

Ehlers scheif X
Connor PLD perfetti
Y Lowry Wheeler

Maybe apples gets a look with schief, and Barron with Lowry.

Ehlers Schief Apples
Connor PLD Perfetti
Barron Lowry Wheeler
Harkins Gus ???

I think if you can limit his ice time to 15-18 minutes a game he'll be fine. Probably looking at PP2 at this point

Need to put him with someone very fast if he's with Lowry because wheeler was gassed on the backcheck last year. Bring in Tanev half retained.

Lol

But I hope that the one thing Bowness brings with him is an open mind and a blank slate. He's not pomo.

Lowry, Barron and Wheeler all skate well. And they're all 6'4+
