I would much rather have Pacioretty, but Pac is also our top prospect. Adding a solid prospect like Wheeler for free, while also filling a couple of holes, as he would be a big center prospect with good speed and hands plus add another forward prospect since we are a little low on forward prospects after Pac, Maxwell, White, Chipchura, D'Agostini, etc... it can't hurt to add him since it only costs money.
That's great to see by the poll that alot of fan here like him. I was also suprised to see at close second that many thinks he would not make the team if signed.
To me, I still beleive that he can make an impact.
What can you guys forcast has a possible cinario if signed...I'll go first
He signs for 4 years league max (with bonus)and make the team and plays with Latendress and Koivu What you could called the 3rd line most night.
has a decent season and come playoff...well I want go that far
So for the season.....19goals and 22 assist for 41 pts.

Hes gonna sign a 2 year deal... based on his age that is the standard entry level deal for him.
Don't get me wrong, and I would love to have Pac in our lineup but from what I can seem to understand, He plans on finishing college
So the year after is what I was thinking and thats fine for me. If I was to chose one, well Pac is my man. It's a great deal.

I never heard that before, I have heard there's talk that he is considering turning pro this summer. But if he goes back to Michigan, my guess would be that it will be his last season as I'd be very surprised to see him return for his junior year.

That's not possible for any rookie contract, no rookie can sign for 4 years. Plus I would guess that if the Habs signed him, they would keep him at center but that's nothing but a guess. Also I think it would be very unlikely that he would make the team full time, either at center or wing.
Is he that good? I was comparing his NCAA stats to Pacioretty's and Pacioretty's are much better. Despite being younger and a rookie I think Max is the better player right now.
I would not say no though.
Wheeler played on an offensively challenged Minnesota team...Pacioretty played on a high powered Michigan team with Porter and Kolarik as linemates.
****ing Bruins...probably the last team I wanted to see him go.
Don't you worry, we'll be 8-0 (or whatever amount of time we play them) against the Bruins this season again. I'm willing to bet all my vchips or whatever they're called.
Besides, Wheeler sounds like Chad Kilger 2.0 to me.

he best get use to first round exits vs Montreal
