Who do you think will be drafted a lot higher than expected this year?
I could see one of Anderson or Backlund in the top 10.

Wheeler is 6'5, 235lbs and has awesome speed. Has loads of untapped potential. I would draft him in the same postion again if the draft was re done.
Then you would be nuts. The Oilers drafted a similar type player in 1994, Jason something, yeah, he didn't pan out so well.

The year before they become UFA?
I'd take Wolski or Radulov myself, but hey, to each his own.
I think you're probably crazy with homerism then. There are plenty of guys drafted after him who are already contributing at the NHL level right now. You think Phoenix coudln't have used Smid, radulov, Wolski, schremp, or meszaros this season?Wheeler is 6'5, 235lbs and has awesome speed. Has loads of untapped potential.

Ultimately time will tell, but as of right now, theres no way he should go that high again (if should even have gone that high in the first place)

Still an amusing pick, remembering people's reaction at the time.
Lars Eller could push a better known player out of the top 10.
