One of the most troubling aspects of the Jets’ under-performance last regular season, especially in the second half, was that Blake Wheeler’s on-ice numbers didn’t look too great, and the whole top line didn’t play opponents as strongly as they were expected to, especially given the talent at their disposal.
Concerns over Wheeler’s play have mostly been kept to those who closely follow analytics, and shrugged off by many due to back-to-back 91-point seasons, the two best years of point production in his career.
