2024 No. 1 pick Macklin Celebrini tops the list as the NHL's top prospect, according to Wheeler. 'I expect him to become a frontline, star-level center for the Sharks,' Wheeler writes.
Not far behind Celebrini is Will Smith at No. 8 and in Wheeler's second tier. Smith is another generational talent who arguably has more offensive potential than Celebrini. 'I'll be shocked if he doesn't become a playmaking top-six center and PP1 creator. I expect him to become a big-time point producer. His individual skill and creativity are rare,' Wheeler writes.
Sliding down to No. 11 and tier 3 is 2024 11th-overall pick Sam Dickinson. Dickinson projects to be a complete top-three defenseman in the NHL. 'His size, skating and defense make him a top prospect. He's got some offense, too. He looks like he's going to be a two-way stud in the NHL,' Wheeler writes.
Finally, a big jump down to No. 55, where Quentin Musty sits. Musty is considered to be in Wheeler's 4th tier of prospects. The high-end physical winger has offensive potential to make fans jump out of their seats and go wild.
