I think what people don't realize is that Wheeler is an athlete and regardless of what sports, true athletes always excel. I'm not saying I hate Euros but the North American game sees more athletes compete with determination and character while in Europe, a lot more guys are taught to dazzle you with their amazing skills but lack the commitment to make that mental/physical leap to the NHL. But Wheeler is definitely an athlete and you can tell by the way he plays the game. Not only that, he is a star on his football team as well and you can often tell the best athletes excel in any sport. Just as Jarome Iginla (who epitomizes athleticism was amazing in baseball) same as Chris Drury and many other guys as well. Even Ovechkin is a fine athlete in many other sports. I think Wheeler will make the NHL. And when he does, watch out!
