I watched 2 games of his last night focusing just on him (not saying that's the best sample, but he's a simple player too). For a late round pick Wylie has NHL potential to my eyes. He's an older player in the class, eligible for the AHL in his D+2 season, and he was 12th in his WHL defense class in points/game at 5v5 (besides the top 5, only 9th was also drafted). Realistically, he looks very much like another floor, low upside player. I think he could be a #6 type, if he hits. As an organizational depth piece, he's a respectable player. That's not a negative for a 5th round pick, though there were some real upside players available who went right after, like Spencer Stastney and Danila Zhuravlyov on defense.
I always ask myself in looking at a prospect as they project to the NHL: "Where do they WIN?" As in, what are they projectably above average or standout in? I'm not really sure where Wylie wins, as there's nothing I think he's above average in, but there's not much in the way of weakness either. He's vanilla and bland, but he's competent positionally in his own end, competitive, can skate fairly well, can handle a puck. There's no creativity in his game though in any zone. Offensively, he basically stayed at the point and took shots or moved pucks quickly in the cycle (some nice one touches too); though read the play well and would move into space as needed. And while he could make a first pass, under pressure he could err towards the safe play, either rimming it or chipping it out, instead of working to create a lane. He's a conservative player who does his job and blends in and tries to not make mistakes. I liked his gap control though; he was up through the NZ.
