Wheeler has been an absolute monster for the Jets since he got the C. He doesn't have the top-level individual skill that Gaudreau has, but his motor is better than arguably anyone on the Flames roster and he's excellent in both ends. I don't think 9 on this list and higher than Johnny is unreasonable for him given how slim of a margin we're talking about here.
