wheeler is nowhere near his peak level now, as both his offense and defense has regressed, but 14-15 through 16-17 wheeler was an absolutely special player. prior to that he was a better version of kessel as that was when his offense was already great and his defense was still bad. which is weird, since his defense was good in boston. outside of his overall regression the last two years and bad defense his first couple years in winnipeg wheeler has been a pretty amazing player throughout his career. kessel has always been a good offensive and bad defensive player. i would say his best season was probably 11-12. 14-15 and 16-17 have been his worst seasons. in this poll its easily blake wheeler.
